Those wipers are connected together and are designed to move simultaneously so the problem has to be a linkage issue between the 2 of them. You will have to access the linkage to determine what gave out.

The passenger side wiper won't operate unless the left side wiper transmission is moving. Remove the left wiper arm from the shaft and inspect the serations (or 'teeth) on the shaft and at the end of the arm. It may have worked loose, damaging either/both.
