I have 4 interesting explanations for these problems:
your computer decided to give you an original welcome-back surprise
someone thought it was funny to change some settings while you were away
you changed some input methods before you left and forgot you had done so
your computer partied and misplaced some configuration files while you were away but forgot to tidy up

Have you rebooted? If you were away, then you could not have run system upgrades.
As @Luca_Pavan mentioned above, unless someone had access to your computer to make changes to it...
If rebooting has no effect, do you have a spare keyboard laying around you can plug in and test?

Also, you can have a visual feedback of keys you press on Settings > Region & Language > click the eye button on your input source > test your keys, just to see if what you press is detected accordingly or if it's misunderstood.
@FazeDaddy Have you checked the simple things ?
Zorin>Settings>Region & Language
Zorin>Settings>Keyboard Shortcuts

I like the 337harvey suppositions, that's thinking beyond the common and easy reasons. Personally when I read about keys being misinterpreted I think specifically to the input method, that's on Settings > Region & Language > Manage installed languages. Also, you can allow a different input method for each window from the Region & Language option within the gear button. I find it strange and perhaps even impossible that coming back from vacation you start the computer and it has changed something on its own. I'm assuming you haven't set up anything that has the permissions and capabilities to make changes like these otherwise only you know what you set.
This would likely be fatal for the laptop, but its keyboard may come out clean and shiny.
so idk what happened few days later it worked normally so idk
