I can't move in Skyrim

I can look around, but I can't jump, I can't attack and I can't switch from third-to first person. I brawled with Vilkas at Jorrvaskr to prove my worth for the Companions, and when I left dialogue, I couldn't move.

I can't open any menus, except for settings, and quest. I tried quicksaving and reloading, and I tried restarting, but neither worked. Can I get some help? I'm playing on a laptop PC.


Solution 1:

For those playing on a PC, try these console commands to attempt to fix the issue. From the UESP Wiki, "Skyrim - Glitches" article:

  • Sometimes, you will become stuck after a cinematic dialogue. Use the console command, enableplayercontrols to retain your controls.

  • Rarely, it is possible to get stuck between objects, and be unable to move. This can be solved by fast traveling or using the console commands, coc <cellname> or tcl.

If you're not playing on a PC, you'd have to load an earlier save before the glitch happened as console commands can only be used on the PC.
