When you open the freezer door do you hear the fan blowing?sounds like the air isn't moving,there's also a damper on the fridge side,the door opens to let the cold air in and then closes,make sure the door is opening,you can take the cover off and put an ice cube on the twirled up metal part to close it and put your hand on it to open it to see if it's working

Ice in one side if top freezer and water ending up in bottom of fridge under crisper

Check to see if your ice maker is leaking. If it is not, or if you have no ice maker, you'll need to unplug the refrigerator for several hours to allow all of the ice to melt inside, mop up all of the water from the melted ice, then make sure that the inlet ports in the freezer are not obstructed by plastic food packages or anything else, so that air can flow freely within the cooling channels between the 'fridge and the freezer. (It sounds like ice has built up in the duct that runs between the freezer fan and the refrigerator compartment, usually caused by the vents in the freezer being blocked by packages.)
