On Jan. 8, NASA announced its decision to return the agency’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission to Earth from the space station earlier than originally planned as teams monitor a medical concern with a crew member currently living and working aboard the orbital laboratory, who is stable. Due to medical privacy, it is not appropriate for NASA to share more details about the crew member.

and they cannot launch a new crew at the moment

Yes, with Baikonur Pad 31/6 offline due to the recent damage, and Starliner-1 demoted to an uncrewed test flight, we are once again in the situation where the ISS is reliant on a single vehicle (Dragon) to launch crew. Hopefully it will be only a few months this time, not an entire decade :)
