My shutter and aperture won’t change help

I was recently at Mexico taking photos until I turned my canon powershot sx530 off and then all of a sudden I turn it back on and tried to move the toggle switch, and it was like stuck at 1/125 and it won’t move (the switch will move but the shutter won’t) I have no idea what happened to it, never dropped it, maybe it’s locked or something, but I really need help!

Have you tried removing the battery and putting it back in?

Agree with checking the battery, but also try to restore default settings with "Reset All", page 130 in this User Manual:

Failing that, might be hardware.

Maybe you moved the mode dial into one where those settings can't be changed manually?
