If you or somebody else had used the bobbin retreading function and forgot to disengage the bobbin retreader, the handle will not moved.
This is a simple solution, just disengage the bobbin retreader and it will be OK.
Otherwise it could be a jammed bobbin or any other mechanical part or simple no current is passing thorough the machine.

The error message relates to the motor sensing that it is working unusually hard.........the extra strain will have a physical cause, generally in the hook and bobbin region.......something blocking or slowing things down, so.......
Remove needleplate and bobbin case.
You will probably find an accumulation of lint in and around this area, also possibly in the feeddog channels.
Use a small brush and vacuum with crevice tool to remove the lint and wipe the hookrace with a tissue moistened with methylated (denatured) spirit to remove any dirt deposits.
Also check that the bobbin case is not damaged on the top surface by needle strikes or on the underside rim by the hook gouging as it spins.
If damage is present but mild, you can use very fine emery paper to smooth surface, if more severe, replace the bobbin case. Don't forget to change needles regularly too.

Actually you should have a "set screw" in the hand wheel. The set screw is usally locked down tight to keep the hand wheel from spinning freely. I f you can run the machine slowly and hold the hand wheel in one place but the machine continues running, then you do need to replace the "set screw". If you replace it you will find that you can offset some of the machines vibration by where you lock the wheel down. Trial and error is the only way to achive this adjustment, kind of like balancing the tires on your car.

You need to check the needle bar first of all to see if you can move it up and down by hand, if you can then the screw on the needle bar may have come loose, or the very worst situation could be a broken takeup lever
Testimonial: "Thanks for the feedback. I think it was the screw. I tried tightening it with an allen wrench and it started working again, though I did not feel any significant tightening motion occurring."
