Hi, welcome to the Apple Users Community.

If you hold down the option key and then click and hold the Finder icon with mouse or track pad you should see a list with the command Relaunch as the first option above the icon.

Release the mouse on Relaunch to restart finder or you can simply reboot the machine. I do suggest doing this after your finder is working again.

Also check this out for more troubleshooting of issues - Safe Mode

Best of luck
