External Hard Drive Being Weird

For some reason, I can't click and drag to the move the files in my external. I have shows/music whatever in there and I used to be able to click and drag it to the desktop and it would copy onto there.
Or if I clicked and dragged into the trash, it would go there and I could delete the file.

Now, nothing happens when I click and attempt to drag it to the desktop or trash. I was able to do so forever with this hard drive, why the sudden change? How do I fix this?

I'm on a Macbook.
 
Sounds like a permissions issue. You may want to try running disk utility on it.
I would try verifying disk permissions first, and see if it comes up with anything.
