Folks need to understand the difference between storage media and transfer media. A usb stick is transfer media. This means you better have a copy of the file somewhere else.
Sounds like your usb stick hiccupped.
File recovery is not possible. Reformatting or using the software that came with the stick will usually make it functional again.
Hard lesson to learn but we have all been there.
Knowing the correct answer and giving a correct answer, are two different things
