I accidentally nudged a 16GB USB stick that I had plugged into my MacBook and now it won’t work, what should I do?

I plugged a 16GB USB stick into my MacBook and then nudged it sideways with my arm. I received an error message saying that the stick hadn’t ejected properly. I then took it out and plugged it back in again a few times but I couldn’t access any of my files in the USB stick. I then tried it in my PC and it also wouldn’t let me access the files saved. Can you help?
