I'm Caio and I'll be happy to help you today =)
It's most likely that your laptop has a key called "Fn lock". You need to find it, press together with the Fn key and then it'll work as it should again.
In case you don't find it, please let me know the exact model and brand of your laptop.
I hope this helps you! Please let me know if I can assist you more.
Best regards,
Caio G.
