Pentax P30 Problem

So I went to load some film into my Pentax P30, and the first time I advanced it it didn't catch, so I activated the shutter so that I could advance again. However, when I went to advance it the second time, it just clicked when It passed the threshold and didn't wind. The shutter won't activate either, so I can't load any film or take any pictures. Anyone got a solution?

Thanks, I'll ask my photo teacher about it and see if she can think of a way.
