Whenever I try to open the python shell it says IDLE’s subprocess didn’t make a

You must be referring to IDLE's GUI Shell, not Python's normal console
text (TUI?) shell or REPL.
IDLE normally runs its GUI in one process and your code in another
process, connected by a socket. The message means that the socket
connection failed.
Everything worked fine yesterday and I haven’t done anything I think
would cause this problem.
Something has done something somewhere.
Any way to fix this? I’ve tried repairing and redownloading
Start IDLE in a console with python -m idlelib (idlelib.idle on 2.7) and
you *may* get an exception or other error message that explains the
situation. There are 5 to 10 known possible reasons.
What python binary are you running IDLE with? (It is displayed on the
first line of output when you start.) Start normally and look, then
start in the console and look, to make sure you are running the same
Python both times.
