There is a possible fix posted on U-Tube - actually more than one suggestion - and another site WWW.camerarepair.blogspot .com if I remember right ----probably worth a try as you will find the professional repair will NOT be cheap and possibly not worth the expence
Good luck

Mine has the same fault from last night too. The zoom lens was at a slight angle, but I have corrected that, and lens retracted with help from me, although it will not open now.
Similar happened to me once before, and I had to send it off to be repaired.
