So I'm messing around on my laptop and the darn
thing decides to rotate itself around 90 degrees
clockwise. Same goes for the control pad; if I scroll
upwards, it scrolls to the right on screen.

How do I get myself out of this situation?

Might try some combo of hot keys. Try crtl-alt-R arrow and others?

Like Jefro Said,

Use combination Keys like Ctrl + Alt + (either Up, Right, Left or Down arrow Keys).... That will surely fix your problem...

Let us know if it helped,

Take Care and Good Luck,
Nick
