Hi Korlopp,
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Wondering if the space-bar is working ok in the on-screen "keyboard viewer".
Click the black apple in top menu bar > System Preferences > Keyboard > Input sources
or
Article from Apple Support:

(Might also be helpful temporarily, while troubleshooting)

Test to see if the space-bar is working again.
(If not, try restarting your Mac .. and try space-bar again.)
