### Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Stability

### Summary

When I launch a session, I spawn in the water, I can’t move and stuck in first person.  
When I start the game, it does the same thing. It was working for one minute. I closed and opened UEFN and Fortnite and then opened it back up, and now this is happening. Restarting UEFN, Fortnite, or PC does not fix the problem. How do I fix this?

### Steps to Reproduce

There are no steps to reproduce. This just came about.

### Expected Result
