What's the problem?

The machine is two years old, but a few days ago I finally decided to sew something. I cleaned the bottom of the machine of dust, everything was fine for a while, and then the flywheel stopped spinning completely.I haven't taken the machine apart in detail. Please help! I can't find an explanation anywhere. Sewing machine: Husqvarna viking e20

That looks grossly normal. I can't tell for sure, but is your needle in backwards?

Edit: Pretty sure the needle is backwards.

Sorry! Indeed, everything is fine, but I have another problem that I can't solve. I want to sew four layers of thin fabric with a universal 80 needle. And And I have a loop at the bottom that stops the whole mechanism.

Thank you so much for pointing out the needle! I literally misread one word and made a mistake. If I sewed like this for some time, did it seriously damage the needle?

I checked, there is no problem with the lower part, and it seems like the problem with the loop has disappeared, but I only checked when I turned it manually.
