The freezer door was left ajar by someone not concentrating on what they were doing!!! This was a couple of days ago. Put some ice in last night and this morning it's not frozen. Is this fatal or is there something that can be done?

Assuming it's a frost free freezer, it's probably just the cooling plates completely iced up. Will need to be defrosted. Take out the draws remove the panel at the back, wait for block of ice to thaw.
Or something along those lines.

With mine you just carry on as normal and it sorts itself out in a day or two.

Don't even think of using the bread knife... 🙄

I'm my student days we had a freezer door with no hinges which was held on solely by the magnetic seal; we regularly defrosted it with hammers and chisels... :-\
