More than likely the switch/cylinder is stuck. Let's start with this guide and we can dig further in after this.

If this does not solve the issue, then we may need to replace the cylinder.

I am attaching the process below on how to replace the switch so if you are not able to get it freed up then I would replace it.

Please run through this process and let me know what questions you have.

Thanks
