why doesnt my brightness or volume button work
My control options on my keyboard are not working (the buttons to change the volume and brightness). I don't know why this is happening since It was fine the other day

You should not have to, was mostly a diagnostic request, like this is...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Choose Apple icon at top left >System Preferences, then click Sound. Select the “Show volume in menu bar” checkbox.
Can you adjust the output sound volume there?
The buttons on the menu bar won't work. It is my issue, not that I don't know how to go into settings and change it. For example, when I click the turn-up volume button, it makes the screen I am looking at disappear rather than turning up the volume.
I can do that, but why should I have to when there is an option to do it on the control bar? And when it has always worked for me and now it just stopped working
