If this began <60min: ago, log out and dial 911. This may be Bell's Palsy or another nerve issue due to illness, but STROKE can't be ruled out yet and time is critical. GO to the ER by AMBULANCE NOW if the symptoms started less than 60 min ago, or less than 3 hours ago at the very latest. You need to be seen by a doctor right away.

Bell's palsy?: If you had sudden loss of facial symmetry, you may be experiencing Bell's palsy. This is a sudden weakness of one side of the face and requires urgent diagnosis and treatment. I recommend you immediately call your family doctor or go to your nearest emergency room. There are many other things that can do this, including medication reactions and infections. See your doctor ASAP
