That is a defrost problem. Remove the rear panel in the freezer and located the defrost heater that's the most common part to go out. If it's discolored inside the glas tube or doesn't Ohm out then replace that part.
You have use a hair dryer to thaw everything for a temp fix.

The glass tube should be below the evaporator coils behind the rear panel in the freezer. And leaving the freezer open while cleaning could have started the problem.

A hair dryer can help for a week or so, but you will need to figure out which part is bad and replace it for a complete fix.
