This usually happens to me when my connection gets interupted or cut, because, I believe..

Turning is local, so its done on your PC sorta, but moving at all (backwards/forwards) requires information to be sent/recieved to/from the servers..

So I suppose if your using a router it could be blocking your connection to SL.. but someone very knowledgable and half my SL age will come along and say all this a lot better than me

Yes what Zap said more or less. You may find you can also chat as well. Reason is SL uses many ports for various data streams. If one is interrupted or blocked you will see this in a variety of manifestations.

Reset your router or modem or both and see if that helps.

Yes that is a method if there is no reset button.
You will need to relog Secondlife.
