Try turning it off completely by holding down the power button then turn it back on. Is it a mac or Windows OS?

Great - often the old adage of turn it off works wonders grin

I agree with Willow. The same happened to my laptop the other day and I couldn't move the arrow with touch or mouse. I turned it off and on again and all was well. Today I couldn't get a response to the Windows key and did the same to solve it. I am glad it worked for you.
