HOOD STUCK SHUT!?!?

I had a water leak so I climbed on top of the hood to take the windshield trim off and I'm guessing my weight has the hood jammed shut I tryed to open it that same night because I noticed my corner marker light burned out and the release lever just makes a thud like the mechanism is working but not popping the hood up... Any suggestions will be great. Thank you

Old trucks play old tricks I geuss.... It fixed it self while in was driving down the smoothest road it popped up.. One more problem checked off my list.
