help regarding my computer

when I woke up this morning I turned on the computer and my left hand came down on the left side of the keyboard. For some strange reason, everything on the computer screen seems to be turned 90 degrees. Does anybody know how to change it back to its original settings so i don't have to turn my neck to the left to read everything?

Hold down the ALTERNATE and CONTROL keys, and while they're held down click the UP ARROW.

You might want to look into how to disable the hot key combo that rotates your screen.
