It is broken!  But you really didn't need me to tell you that.  Call Canon service for repair.

If it is the 18-55 kit lens, you might try popping back into place. Do a search on these forums.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. The "popping back into place" fix is aimed at a very specific condition (dislocation of the AF motor by trying to focus manually in AF mode). If the OP's lens won't focus even in manual mode, this situation looks more serious.

lens is Canon 85mm

Whoa!  Smiley Sad  Which 85?  I dropped my 85mm f1.2L at a birthday party shoot at MCD.  It was $385 to repair the front element.

You need to call Canon service today.  It has to be repaired and by them!
