I occasionally experience the same after accidentally pressing Ctrl+s
In my case Ctrl+q gets me back.

Though your problem is sudo/su related instead - perhaps you have running job or
some graphical leftovers in your root session blocking terminal release back.
Try Ctrl+c or Ctrl+z when it happens again.
