Library has repairbooks or utube
It is hard to tell what is causing this but a few things to could be a loose universal bar, the trip adjustment, or something foreign in the typewriter stopping the movement of those keys

You will have to take this in for service. Bad escapement

If there is tension on the carriage when you push it to the right, the spring is not broke or the cord..then the problem would be in the escapement area..you would need a repairman to do this. if the carriage is loose, no tension then the spring is either broke or the cord is off or broke.
Either way not something easy....
