Pseudo-beginner question

So its been many years since I last picked up a clarinet, but I just found an old beat up one in my girlfriend's attic and took it out to play. I have no trouble getting a sound out, but Im having an issue with a certain note. I'll have to describe it, because I'm way out of practice and don't remember the name.

So when you are playing a C (the one right above open G) you are holding down all of the holes with your fingers, and with your pinky you hit a key to turn it from a D to a C. Anyway, that key doesn't seem to work, be it with or without the octave key. Did i forget how to blow or finger it properly? Or is it more likely something wrong with my clarinet?
