You need to remove the shifter and see if the drum will turn manually, your problem may be in the shift mechanism itself but you need to remove it to find out if it has a problem or if it is more serious.
I've seen a problem where the adjuster had loosened on the shifter mechanism, not physically allowing enough movement to shift the transmission. So take a look around the shift lever to see if everything is tight and in the correct position.
