I think those are two separate and unrelated problems.
The reason that the gun wouldn't open might remain a mystery but removing the forend after the gun was fired and not fully opening the gun before removing it is what caused the non-cocking of the ejector hammers.
If it happens again that you can't open the gun you should go to a different shell.
