If the screen indicated F0 it's a loss of communication between the body and lens like you have when using a manual focus lens. I've experienced that a few times on my XC16-50, I believe it's because the plastic mount is loose. Remove the lens, wipe the contacts, mount it again.

If your lens is stuck at a given aperture and not responsive turning off the camera, battery pull, remove lens, clean contacts on lens and camera and then put it all together and turn it back on would be my first steps in troubleshooting. Less than 30 seconds to go through that and should have been your first course of action during the shoot. It may indeed be a lens or camera issue though as I've always had the F0 thing when I've had problems.

Bring a backup body/lenses next time.
