I had this same problem. A can of aerosol spray grease on the mechanism inside the door towards the back worked great. They dry out and become sticky and wont release to open the door.

You need to remove the door trim to expose the inside mechanism that opens the door from the inside, look for a broken cable or a missing link to the inside handle, your problem will be there.
Remove the inside door handle cover , Take out the piece that has yhe rods attached to it . There is 2 black plastic pieces that one opens the door and the other one locks the door. One is broken . The one that opens the door from inside, Reolace the piece and put the rods back on. put cover on . Done.
It is not really normal on front doors, but when the door is open, if you have a look at the latch on the door you may see a little lever. This is called a kiddy lock, well it is here in NZ, it prevents the door being opened from the inside accidentally by fidgeting little hands. Try moving the lever to its opposite position.
You will need to take the door panel loose from inside and see if the linkage that works the latch has come off and if so put it back on. Most cars have a few screws around the door handle and arm rest you have to take out and then they have clips around the bottom of the door that pop out to get the panel loose.
the plastic connection on the inside of the door lever has broke off with old age ,take door panel off and have a good look then come back if you cannot sus it
I have this problem every year with my car, 1993 buick regal custom, 3.8. What happens is it gets cold, warms up a bit, and ice or snow melts and gets in the door, then it gets cold again and it freezes. I go to unlock and open the door from the outside and this problem arises.
There is a vertical rod on the left side of the drivers side, right side of the passenger side, that gets bent, from trying to open the door when that mechanism is frozen up. Just bend it back, a TINY bit and it will start working.
I got tired of taking my door apart every time it happened so i cut a little "door" in the cover thing, so i can get at that bar.
I also tried coating it in grease and that seems to lessen the frequency.
it must be dismanteld by specialist. i don't think that you can solve this problem. you will have to change some detail and door will open from outside
Either the handle is broken inside the door, or the clip that holds the actuating rod is broken. If it either of these is shouldnt take any more than an hour to fix.
