So I left my wipers in the on position when I turned car off. When I went to start it in the morning the snow was on my windshield and the wipers started to go. I immediately turned them off, brushed snow off and then turned wipers on again. They still move fine, but they do not return to their resting spot below. They stop vertically at the sides of the window.

This is an easy fix. Likely ice got on your windshield and froze your wipers to the glass then when turned on moved out of position. Take the cover off the base of the wipers and loosen the bolts. Put them down all the way and tighten. When wipers are turned on when frozen to glass the gears want to move but cant and loosens at the base. Please let me know if this does not help and will look into it further but this is probably it. Thanks

You will need to find where in the linkage the problem is. I would start taking it apart to see what is and what isn't working correctly. Autozone website has free repair manuals available online.
