Default 4x4 problem

1998 Chevy Blazer 4wd 4 door
I accidentally pushed the 4 wd low button while I was driving. The 2 wd light is on now. When I push 4 wd button the light flashes then the 2wd light is on. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you

int3414 is most likely correct that your shift motor has an issue. I just wanted to add that you pressing 4 lo on accident cannot cause any additional damage because your computer requires the car it be in neutral to shift into 4lo.

I put it in neutral, pressed the brake, pressed 4 low button. Now it’s stuck in 4 high.
