Did you install the Classic Editor plugin? That will change the editor back to the old, familiar one.
No, I don’t have anything like that. Nothing changed on my end.
What plugins do you have installed?
On your user profile, do you have the “visual editor” disabled?

I don’t understand why I was able to edit with blocks one day and not the next…?
This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/health-check/ On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site. You can then use its admin bar menu to turn on/off plugins and themes one at a time.
is there an option somewhere to revert back to old editor?
is this the Gutenberg editor that everyone hates?
You want the Classic Editor plugin. PLUGINS->ADD NEW. It should be one of the first few that show up.
