It could be many other things other than a mainspring.
Yes the mainspring is suspect in this case.
If the click failed or the click spring you would feel the exact same thing.
If teeth broke on the ratchet wheel, highly unlikely but it would feel the same.
There are other winding and setting parts that could have failed.

You cannot always jump straight to the mainspring. But it very well could be.
