If the switch turned, it must not have been pushed down all the way when it was locked. Can you still get the switch to come out? If so you may need to realign the tumblers with a big flat head screw driver.

Has the ignition switch ever been removed? This can happen when the cogs in the housing get moved out of whack and the ignition switch isn’t turning them correctly. It can be a little tedious to get them to line back up but it’s all trial and error.

....I was typing the same time as HDSAE60 above lol

Heres a video that might help you get things straightened out:
