Could be the battery has died on you at an awkward moment, though normally a camera will retract the lens before shutting down. Apologies if you've already checked this but you haven't given much detail.
First step might be to charge the battery. If that doesn't help then before getting a new one you might like to test the battery with a voltmeter. If the battery seems OK then the problem is with the camera and will need professional attention.

When I try to take a picture and I have the camera in the picture mode on the dial, the screen goes black and at the top of the screen it says "lens error: 27" or "lens error: 17" and then it shuts it self off.
