weird lock icon at the top of iPhone screen

Stupidly, I let my 2 yo play with my phone and she's done something to it that I can't even work out! It seems to have locked out the internet, but I can still get phone calls and sms.

This is a screen grab of the icon that appeared after she was playing with it...

HELP?? Please?

iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1

That's the portrait orieintation lock, which prevents the screen from rotating sideways. To unlock it, double-tap the home button, swipe the list at the bottom to the right, then tap the left-most icon (to the left of the music controls).

Double-press Home button, slide to the right and select Unlock button, so the rotation will start
