From the way you describe the problem it appears that the retraction mechanism has become out of line. I think that as you can hear a clicking sound the mechanism is working but not engaging with the lens. Try gently applying slight pressure on the front of the lens this may help to re-engage. You may need to consider a trip to the repair shop.
Hi, "E18"indicates an error that involves the lens unit or lens cover in your camera .This error appears where the lens is prevented from properly extending or retracting .The error may also be displayed if the lens camera has been subjected to an external shock, or if a foreign substance (i.e. liquid, sand, dirt) enters the camera.Hold the camera so that your fingers do not touch the lens unit when you are shooting. Make sure the camera is off before the camera is placed back in the case. Exercise caution to ensure that the camera does not accidentally power on while the camera is stored inside the case.If you cannot clear the error code by turning the camera off and then on again, or if the error code is displayed frequently, a camera malfunction may have occurred and might require service from canon.Or else try pressing the power button on and held it down while extending the zoom lens. The lens will extend out and the camera will be freed from the error. Thank you !!

The error message indicates an error that involves the lens unit or lens cover.
This error may appear where the lens is prevented from properly
extending or retracting such as, for example, when pressure is applied
to the lens or the area surrounding the lens while handling the camera.
The error may also be displayed if the lens unit/camera has been
subjected to an external shock, or if liquid,
sand or dirt enters the camera. This issue may also happens if the Battery is not fully charged.
In this case, charge the battery completely then try to turn on the camera. Furthermore, try resetting the Camera to the original factory settings. You may also try hitting the lens gently against your palm after turning it ON.
e18 is a lens error message, the lens is stuck or bent, and wouldn't come out, that's why camera shuts off after it tries to do so at the start, not much you can do, but replace the whole lens assembly
