Help needed with pipenv problem

I am new to using pipenv virtual environments. I am using one with a Django project. Recently I accidentally executed a sudo command while inside pipenv shell. When I later tried to start the environment with "pipenv shell." I got a message that said, "The folder you are executing pip from can no longer be found."

I exited the directory and re-entered. Then ran pipenv shell again. This time the env was activated. However when I try to install a package or run pipenv lock --clear I get the following error:
Locking [dev-packages] dependencies...
Locking [packages] dependencies...
Building requirements...
Resolving dependencies...
✘ Locking Failed!

The environment is supposed to use python 3.9 but from the information above it appears to be using 3.6. Any ideas about how to fix this.
