Yeah I've had the exact same thing happen to me before in the middle of a rehearsal. I was sitting there playing, and I started analyzing what I was doing. I scrutinized and re-evaluated every breath, the movement of every muscle, the position of my lips, etc. Suddenly I found that it no longer felt natural to do any of it, and it became very difficult to play anything at all. Eventually though I just relaxed and everything became natural again. I think if you're flute isn't broken this is probably what you're doing, over-thinking how to play.

that's happened to me before, if you think to hard on what you are doing then You kind of forget how to do it for a while...It's kinda of funny how that works.
