Then actuator is most likely froze up due to lack of lubricant, sometimes you can take off the door panel and get in there with some penetrating oil and get it to work for a while but you will eventually have to replace the actuator assembly.
The driver's door lock is worked a LOT more than other doors and the actuator is probably broken and needs to be replaced. You could try to lubricate it by spraying in WD40, but if the lock doesn't turn at all, it's too far gone for this..... Of course, if this just happened in cold freezing weather, it might just be ice in the cylinder and heat & lubricant will free it up.
