Problem with New Level/Can't move, camera falls indefinitely

I’m actually not sure how to really title this since I’m not sure how to even properly describe my issue, but I’m having a huge issue whenever I start a new level.

I’ve got all the collisions properly set up and everything (I think), but I’m having this problem where every single time I make a new level, regardless of if it’s a new blank or default template, whenever I press Play one of two things happens: I’m either forced into some kind of first person perspective (I’m creating a 2D sidescroller so this is weird) and can’t move; or my camera seems to be locked on wherever I was looking in the viewport and it just drops until either it falls out of the world or hits the ground, and I still can’t move the player.

I have a separate test level that works perfectly fine, but for some reason creating a new level seems to break things? The first person perspective happens if I only have a Player Start, and the camera falling seems to happen when I don’t have a Player Start. Putting a playable pawn in the level doesn’t change anything.

Can anyone explain what’s going on, and how to fix it? If I need to explain it better I’ll try.
