Hello dear,
What happened to you appears to be a facial nerve palsy.Face and muscles of eye and mouth closure are supplied by facial nerve.In facial nerve palsy,there is inability to close eyes,flattening of naso-labial fold and drooping of mouth on the side of facial weakness.There can be several causes of facial nerve palsy.You need to visit a neurologist to get evaluated and treated for the same.I hope it helped.
