Well, you could start by taking the shields off and give it a proper lube. A soaking one to be exact. Then put it on the tip of a pencil and try to spin it with your finger a bit. If this works to free it up, clean it, and give it a light lube and see if it works ok in the yoyo. If not, maybe it’s time to replace it.

A lube should do it… My speed dial is doing this right now
