Mystery throttle problem?? (SE)

I was about to check and see if my aux ports were working correctly so I got in my car and started it up. Inexplicably, the gas pedal was super hard to press, and it would only go about a 1/4 of the way in. So I looked down by the floor, nothing was blocking it, so I looked at the throttle body. One spring on the front side (towards the front of the car) was hanging lose, only connected at one end, and the throttle is nearly impossible to turn by hand? When I parked it the day before, it was FINE. Could something be lodged in the throttle plate??
