The first thing that you need to do is to take out the roller blinds from their rods. You need to do it carefully, unless you want to detach the rod from the wall or allow the fabric to tear in half.

Most likely there is something clogging the interior of the mechanism, giving you a difficult time to raise or lower the blinds.

After using the pin, it is now time to use a brush
