Does it feel like the selector is trying to move the gear?or is the rail that it runs on locked? it may be that the detent has worn and locked up the rail. Worth checking next.
Then again, its possible that one of the roller bearings in the centre of the gear that shifts has broken up and the selector collar has dropped down. These bearings are not expensive :7 in UK, but the labour time to fix is. You cant see the bearings without disassambling the gearbox. Alternatively, this is one of the gears with synchromesh, so it may be something to do with that.
Maybe Mike has a better idea !!
