I put film in it and new batteries but i tried cranking the lever but it wouldn’t go all the way it just went half way and i don’t know how to fix it.

Did it appear to work properly before any film was loaded?

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm going from memory here. Release the film by pressing the button on the bottom. You should then be able to move the lever enough to cock the shutter, even if you have to move it twice. Then try using it again.

If you can't get it working properly with film loaded, you'll have to talk to someone who repairs cameras.
