Obvious follow up question: Is it just Valheim or for all programs/games?

If the latter, it's very likely you broke your keyboard.

Check and close other apps while playing. I just had a strange one where my audio app window on the desktop prevented me from building anything at a workstation.

Did you have a controller plugged in? Close and exit Steam using Steam top left corner or the bootloader at the clock bottom right corner r/click exit.
Disconnect any controllers .
Unplug your keyboard and put into another USB slot.
Oh is it wireless?

Had this problem a couple times on a dedicated sever playing with friends, when a friend was afk for an extended period of time. Friend had to be kicked or log out to resolve.

maybe you picked up hammer?

charmap, copypaste, other computer/device. :-)

Nope - Wasn't because the hammer was in hand. It stopped allowing interactions too (for example, if you walked up to the raven, it would't pop up the E-to intact glyph). Had to quit the game and restart it. All good after that.

By restart - I mean, create a new world and start the game from scratch

Are you using MODs?

Nope, raw, out of the box. I think it was when I ignored one of the ravens (because I was being attacked)
