The lever inside the door will have most likely just seized like mines did. You will have to remove the door card with the door shut. I done mines last month and if done gently you wont damage the door card. When you have the door card off and the window wound back up just feel in with your hand and release the door. Then get some wd40 and give the area a good spray.

I had same problem, put window down then long thin bar between window and door card over lock area prodded down a few times and door unlocked. I used a 2 ft wooden ruler. You may have seen this method on a few cops programs.

I had to do something similar on my first MG ZS. Good old engineer's rule, but don't scratch the glass like I did!
