My m1 mini can't shut down or restart

Today my terminal suddenly crashed when I reopened it was completely bugged out even though my .zshrc file was unchanged.

Then I noticed that neither the restart nor shut down buttons from the apple menu work. (This has never happened to me before) 

I tried everything (manual shutdown, restructuring the file system, safe boot, cache deletion, activity monitor, adding users, first aid, malware detection etc.) but have not seen results. 

Any advice would be of help. 

I have the base model m1 mini 8gb ram, 205 / 245 gb used.
