your machine is most likely "gummy". when sewing machines sit the oils get sticky, particularly in entry level machines as they use cheaper oil. there could also be some tangled threads and lint that are adding to the problem. if your machine was shipped or dropped something may have been bent or broken out of alignment. at best, your machien needs a labor intensive process of dissassembly cleaning and re-lubricating. i would there is probably not a quick fix. i would recommend taking it to a sewing machine repair shop. call ahead to make sure they give free estimates. you may have to leave it for a time but if they charge for estimates then they're not a good shop. i am a sewing mechanic of 20 yrs
