If you accidentally toggle it on, the fix is luckily very simple. Click the # key on your keyboard to instantly toggle UI navigation off. Just like that, you should be good to move around again. The reverse can be used to toggle it back on, so just remember that hashtag is the key that activates and deactivates UI navigation.
