An obvious thought is, could be your top lever spring broke. A good gunsmith if available would pull the stock first thing, which requires good screwdrivers and technique, plus a long punch for the sear pin. Once the stock is off it should be clear what broke.

When working on my own double guns, I don’t own a pin punch long enough to drive the pin all the way out. Myself, I wiggle it the rest of the way out out once driven. Reassembly requires, for me, a slave shaft of similar diameter that is pushed out as the sear pin goes back in. I can’t really recommend working on your own guns to most people but I do all my own work when I can, so there is that. Once you know what’s wrong, you could check Numrich or eBay for a replacement. Good luck!

Use a long trim finish nail with the pointed end ground off. It also works for reassemble by pushing it through both sears to be replaced by the original pin as you tap it back through gently while using your thumb to help align the sears so the pin starts.
