Double tap the home button and swipe all the way the right in the task bar at the bottom - see if the lock icon is in the far left corner of the task bar. If so - tap it to unlock the rotation.


Or check the side side switch above the volume control on the right side of the iPad.

If those don't work - try a reset.


Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
