My Mountain Bike Is Broken?

It feels like the pedals are at an angle and as though they are winding off (even though they arent). Does any one know what is wrong with it? I know myquestion is a bit vague its the only way i can think of explaining it. Its quite old hasnt been ridden in years
Thanks

    Well dont make your question vague…what kind of bike is it? Sounds like a pedal replacement is in order. Depending on what kind of bike you have will determine what size pedal thread you need. Nearly all bike shops will have a pedal for it and so will most dept stores that sell bikes . If you have a single chain ring it will be 1/2″thread and anything else will be 9/16″ unless it is a dept store bike then it still may be 1/2″

    Your crank arm threads where the pedal screws in could be sripped and you’ll probably never get the pedal out with out some specific tools and or knowledge of the given situation. Take it to a bike shop, most will help you without charging you until they actually work on it.
