MacBook screen GONE on right side, doubles on left

Mornin. I have a MacBook Pro and need it for work (music & film) but I've been using my sister's MacBook for school and it started acting up this morning.

That's the computer. The right side of the screen is black and the left side is doubling. I'm really upset and want to take it to the Mac store but we don't have AppleCare so I'm hoping I could atleast find out what's wrong?

If anyone can help that would be amazing. Thank you!!!

Did a restart or SMC and PRAM reset work?
