I had a roll of Ultimaker Silver PLA (newer stuff) do the exact some thing. It was bound up bad inside the roll a few layers.
Overnight I had a roll of Colorfabb nGen filament do the exact same thing. I have filament guides that seem to help gently unfurl some snags. However this one was inside the roll and tore off the filament guides !
In the nGen case, I had to unfurl a couple feet of tangles and clip them off.
And in moth instances these were new rolls that had only done 2 or 3 small (4 hour) prints. So not the beginning of the roll but a few feet into them.
I'd say... just unroll untill your roll appears clear... then either re-roll... or snip it off and try rolling the difficult bit onto an empty roll... if you have the time.
And yes... a lot of the time you will twist the entire roll whilst re-winding... It's really a question of feeling the tension and rolling as relaxed as possible (no twists).
