You need to try totally powering down the laptop and waiting a few moments and then turn it back on. Not sleep or hibernate, but off off.

If it won't turn off normally, then you will either have to pull the battery and unplug the charger, or unplug the charger and wait for it to run out of power.

Once it has been actually off, then you want to start it back up and see if the keyboard will work normally.
