One thing should have nothing to do with the other.
I see a 500 error on your site. Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t find the log, please contact your host.
Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/
You can also try this: 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 cannot access wp-admin, there are other ways to deactivate plugins: https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus
Thank you so much for your reply. I forgot. I tried to post with this new block thing before the site went down. Here is my log. Does it say anything to you? I am going through the rest of your instructions. Thank you very much.

I think this happened when I tried to put in a new post. Suddenly this SEO info came up. I tried to put the post in that. Then I pressed update, then preview, then the site went down.
I am disabled, and wouldn’t touch a programming setting. I can’t understand the debugging instructions.
Dear Steve,
I can hardly remember phone numbers. Programming is not going to happen. I don’t know how to fix this. The instructions are too complicated on the debugging page. I tried the plugins, but that didn’t work.
What is this pressing new post and suddenly have this SEO stuff come up?
You pasted in what appears to be a readme file. Please enable debugging, as explained above.
Dear Steve,
On the debugging page, it says, “It is not recommended to use WP_DEBUG or the other debug tools on live sites”
Mine was a live site. Is the only choice to rebuild it again?
It’s just a temporary thing for troubleshooting.
