This appears to be one of the failure modes of such cards/devices.

Try copying the contents to a new card and see if the new card works. Then toss the old card.

Remember that no repair is feasible on the old card.

If it's SD, I know how to unlock it. Otherwise, it would seem you are screwed unless you copy the data.

I fixed my problem, it was the little lock switch on the side of the card.

Check the side of your card for a small slide button that moves from Lock to Unlock. Most of the time it is accidentally moved from one position to the other when you insert your card.
