Left shift key stopped

I don't know if it has anything to do with the latest OS but my left shift botton suddenly stopped working. Does anyone has the same issue? can anyone help?

If you have a laptop with the butterfly keyboard, then that is a very common failure. You can try to clean the keyboard using this Apple article as a guide, but make sure to keep the can of compressed air upright or you will damage the laptop.
