I shared a video of the problem, it's hard to describe with words. Can you help me solve it?

I was able to remove the filament, and I cut some off and reinserted it, but the same thing happened.

Is your nozzle clogged? I would remove your nozzle and see if you can extrude cold. If you can, there's a clog in your nozzle. If you can't then there's something upstream preventing filament from moving.

Take the nozzle out and see if you can feed the filament through then. That'll tell you whether it's a clogged nozzle (most likely) or stepper/bearing/driver issues (less likely).
