Default Is my fly reel broken?

I was out fishing today with my cousins and they were bobber fishing while i was fly fishing. They got one on and asked for my help so i dropped my rod and helped them. When i came back to my rod there was no drag or clicking, do i need to buy a new one or can i fix it? It is just a cheap starter Martin reel but it is metal not plastic. Any help would be amazing! Thank you.

If its the same Martin fly rod that i have from canadian tire.. there is a small steel nub on one of the sides of the reel that can be moved up and down. when you set down your rod you might've bumped it as you set it down.
