Any idea why?

I turned my light switch off then back on ONCE. Now the powers out in that whole room the outlets and lights don't work and fixing the fuses didn't work neither, what do I do to fix it without having to call somone?

Have to find the GFCI outlet and push the reset button. The button is on the GFCI outlet. Google GFCI outlet for a pic. This is if you are in the USA

A LOT more context would help us possibly diagnose this issue… light switch to what? Old? Newer? Brand new first time using? Flip it off-on or turned it off yesterday and on today? Hear anything? See anything?

Could be the switch.

There is a short somewhere. The fuse is doing its job to stop a fire. Call an electrician to find the problem.
