Main options are the spring is out of its cradle or the hinge of the key (or its left hand lever) is binding.
This is the F/C key (i.e. you press it to play F or C in the lower or upper range respectively).
First, raise the key by hand and see if it moves back down, or does it get stuck in whatever position you leave it in (e.g. in the middle of its travel)?
If it moves freely, hold it down (the way it is now) and check if the left hand lever for the F/C key is binding (does it move down and spring back after you release it)?
If everything moves without binding most likely the spring popped out of the cradle (you can see the spring and cradle of the E/B key in your photos). The spring for F/C is behind it, look from the other side in the area of the F/C left hand lever to right hand key linkage.
