Appears that the linkage that drives the window up and down is disconnected from the glass. You can try gripping the window and pulling it up if you want it closed, but it will probably slip again.
You can remove the inner door skin and see if you can repair the mechanism. Try YouTubing your car model and driver window repair.
Or take it to your local mechanic or an auto glass installer.
You need to have the door disassembled and the window lift mechanism checked. Sounds like the actuator arm has come off, or the motor is dead/dying. (You didn't say whether the motor makes noise when you try to operate the window.) If you're a DIYer, there are any number of videos on YouTube that will show you how to do the diagnosis.

Probably your battery is bad. either charge or replace that and then learn the windows again. (have you got your radio code before removing battery?) to learn the windows do them one at a time with door closed. hold the down button you hear a clck a few seconds after it opens fully now hold the up/close button and again wait for the click. easiest is to hold the button pressed for 10 secs after the windo has fully traveled down then send it up and again 10 secs after it stops moving.

My window on my vert was doing that. Short of opening up the door and trying to do it myself, I took it in to the BMW guys at Bimmerhaus. They readjusted the window for me and it was good to go. Pretty much cost 1 hour of labor and a couple of clamps. $100+ or thereabouts.
Either the wiring to the switch which flexes as travels near the hinge has a short, or the switch itself in driver's door is failing and wiggles as door is shut. Checking and replacing the switch is easy, so I would check that first.
