A little more info would be helpful for someone to help you:
Is it cold at your place?
Is there possibly a mechanical issue?

What will silicone spray so for seals if I get it open?
On way to inlaws for thanksgiving I thought maybe when I hit unlock it was frozen and did not actually unlock the door. When trying from outside and inside I felt handle not catching on anything. So I will double check that when I get home

Sorry yes it was 30 this morning. Not sure if it could be mechanical, this is first truck I owned however I have never had a problem with it.

Did you happen to wash it before the temperature dropped, or was it raining?
If it's not an issue with frozen door seals, then it's a usually a mechanical issue with the catch/latch mechanism. Something's either broke or out of adjustment. This isn't a Ford problem, all vehicles are susceptible to this.

From the inside, try opening it with some light pressure. I've forced them before and never had an issue tearing a seal.

i did try opening it form inside but leaning over seat so i didnt have alot of pressure and it wouldnt budge.
when i got home last night i tried again, unlocked, locked, unlocked doors and with some force it did open. i felt/heard the seal around the door as someone mentioned. however i could feel the mechanism catching this time. i deff couldnt before. i wonder if it was the seal and mechanism.
someone mentioned silicone spray. will that really help?
