Drivers side door lock stuck ('97)

Hey everyone,
I have a '97 Lumina, and I went to get into it today.. I locked the doors the night before, and when I put the key in this morning and turned the lock, it felt like it didn't do anything (almost like what it feels like when you try to unlock an already unlocked door..), but the door did unlock. So I opened it up and just tried it again to see if I was imagining things, and it did the same thing (power locks all worked fine, no issues other than the "weird feeling").

I went to work, lock the doors, and when I get off 12 hours later, I put the key in, and it still has that weird feeling when I try to unlock it, except now it won't unlock. So i fiddled with it for a few mins, nothing. I go over to the passenger side, unlock the door, try the automatic locks and it still doesn't go. So I lean over and try to switch the lock manually, and the switch goes about halfway and just stops. No amount of force would get it to move. Pulling the door handle does nothing.

Any ideas? Thanks!
