Sudden problem with turntable

I have a rega p5 with a ortofon black. it used to sound great. yesterday i put on a record and it sounded terrible, really muddy. My knowledge of turntables is very limited. Is it possible that i damaged the stylus? Any suggestions as to how i would determine what happened?

Do you regularly clean the stylus on your cartridge?

Have you looked under magnification to see if it is clean or dirty?

Buy a box of Mr. Muscle Magic Eraser. (seriously). Lower the stylus onto the block. Raise it. Lower it, raise it. All set.
Do not drag it over stylus. Ever.
