Here are some ideas:

A pencil or other debris fell into the action.  This is probably the most
likely.

If the worst case happened (the bass bridge broke off)  you'll need a drill,
drywall screws or #10 wood screws, sound board buttons, wood glue.

You'll probably need to remove all or most of the bass strings.

Drill through the soundboard with a drill bit large enough to allow the screw
to completely pass through.  Don't penetrate the bridge/apron.  Work glue into
the joint and put in the screws.  Reattach the bass strings, they will help to
clamp the bridge back down.

If the soundboard is delaminated the same procedure can be used.
