Why can't I turn my ceiling fan off with pull chain which is stuck?

The chain operates a switch inside the fan's casing.
It is most likely that switch is stuck in the "on" position" and less likely that the chain itself is stuck in the casing somehow.
Ask someone who knows how to work safely on electrical appliances to check that switch to find out if it can be fixed or if you will need to buy a new switch and have it fitted.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
