the mirror may have skppied out of the snap joint that hodl it to the cable clamp. If somone tried to move it by hand they might have unspnned its place. it if feels lose by hands you can snap it back into place. This is only if you hear the mechanism inside the mirror moving when you push the switch, which means the cable is moving int he moirror housing.

keep in mind this is for my 89 Corolla and whatever car you have maybe different.
