Drivers door won't unlock :/

So my drivers door won't open from the inside or outside
It started yesterday and I lubed up the latch and it got better it didn't do it anymore but this morning I went for a drive came home and was pulling on the door handle just to see how it felt

it felt like it had a little bit of a resistance and then all of a sudden it let go
Now I can't open my stupid door

I can hear the actuator moving and the lock knob go up and down but it won't open

What do I do?? :/
The day I lubed it I took the door panel off and checked to see if anything had disconnected but it looked good
Also the handles feel like they have no tension

power lock actuator, happens all the time, something inside the actuator itself breaks at the latching mechanism.

Can't argue with that. It will nickle and dime you to death as it gets older.

I finally got it to open
By pulling on both the inside door handle and outside incase anyone in the future has this issue

Then I lubed the hinge with silicon spray and white lithium grease and it's working good for a few days now

For future reference if you go to shut the door and it doesn't actually shut, manually pull the indicator up then back down. I've had it happen a few times. Doing this rather than holding it shut and locking it with the fob again kept me from getting locked in/out
