This is a scam message. Messages that are legitimately from Etsy will be in a folder marked "From Etsy". Your shop is not blocked - look at your shopfront; it's still showing active.
If you clicked on any link in the message, in the very least run a virus scan - the link could have contained malware, or a keystroke logger.
