Unable to search and browse in Apple Music

So I recently started using Apple Music on my MacBook Air and it was going great but today I tried to search for a song and it was only searching inside my library. I am unable to search the Apple Music section, it only lists "Your Library" and "iTunes Store" to search. On the sidebar I cannot browse the Apple Music section as the only one listed under Apple Music is "Radio." I am unsure of why this happened. I already tried logging out and logging back in, and it was unsuccessful.

Hello tayloe75,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We will link our guide searching for songs in the Music app on your Mac below. You mentioned that it only lists or allows you to search your library.

Are you an Apple Music subscriber?

Is that what you signed out of then back in or something else?

What choices do you see specifically in the Music window (top right)?

You may need to select 'Apple Music' as the choice on where to search. Also, go to the Music menu in the top left of your display (next to the Apple  menu). Choose Preferences > Restrictions tab. Make sure Apple Music isn't checked to disable it.
