Seems like the driver side door has broken door lock actuator.
Maybe the passenger side too.

Have you tried some dry lube for the keyhole? I also believe your door lock actuator is bad if your door does not lock or unlock with the lock/unlock button inside your GS.

I agree with trying lube for the key hole. Use wd40, pb blaster or whatever. Spray on your key and in the hole. Insert key and try turning your key both directions. Hopefully it'll loosen up.
