Remove your door panel, there's a how to on here somewhere. Search for it...pretty easy to find. There is a cable similar to that of a bicycle for the brakes that attaches to the handle inside the door. It may have come loose or broken.

Do it. Thats probably the problem, although I don't see how it could come off by itself

It is possible for it to work its way out or for the end of it to break.
