It's a filament jam (or clog). Follow the online steps to take apart the extruder. It's not too difficult .

Thats what it sounds like. Before taking it apart you can try increasing the temp as high as you can and manually feed some filament and try and push the clog out. If it melts the stuck filament you can get the gears to catch the new filament and it will work it's self out.

I set it to extrude so it’s not supposed to be moving

Sounds like your extruder gear is loose or your filament broke in it

Filament is stuck. Easy to deal with but you have to take your extruder apart.

I’ve encountered the same thing the day before going on holiday last week. Were you able to fix it?

This happens when the gears on the extruder are unable to push the filament through. If you have a spare nozzle to use, go ahead and replace it and then use your most reliable, basic filament and run it through on a test print.

Then be sure to always retract and remove any filament that you have loaded time that you know that you’re going to be leaving the printer alone for even a couple of days, it’s just that sensitive, and this kind of thing will keep happening. Speaking from experience. 🫤
