Hmm. The impeller could have become clogged. Do you know how to find that?

It should be easy to get to, look at the supplied manual or look it up online.

It should be a magnetic driven impeller, it may of gotten hot while not being able to turn, but cleaning it and trying again is the first step.
You might look into getting a sponge to put on the intake. That will keep sand from ruining your filter over time. What kind of filter is it?
Most filters are fairly easy to disassemble to take each part off to clean or to replace.
The impeller is normally set into a small chamber inside the filter housing and is magnetised into position, pull the impeller out after gaining access through the housing, clean the impeller and clean inside chamber of impeller housing as well, this usually does the trick in making the impeller spin once again and getting full flow.

Did you wash the sand first? It'll be a bit of dust but should settle.
