It's most likely the anti trap has been triggered.
Have a search there is some info on it.

You'll need to take the door card off and lubricate the glass runners with some silicone spray lube. Motor the window up and down a few times to spread it along the runners.
This has worked a treat for me in the past
It's worth checking all the mechanism mountings are tight while you're in there too.

Also grease the cable, you can lubricate the cable at the jockey wheels, the outer of the Bowden cable rusts and this can wear the cable till it snaps. I've just fitted a second-hand motor and full assembly to my nearside front door, I greased all of the moving parts and it's so smooth.
