winding

When I was winding my 16013 datejust it suddenly had no resistance turning the crown. The date will still move, and the hands will set, but it won't run. Any input will be appreciated.

Agree with Vanessa time for a full service when mainsprings are replaced in most cases anyway and its not a very expensive part then as watch has to be stripped down to service.
