First thing I would try. is to cut the material and remove it from the "Bowden" tubing.
Cut the material at the material bay inserting point, then I would un-clip the tube from the extruder end and remove the material from the tubes.
I would then, put another material of the same type into a different material station bay, load it and make sure the printer identifies it as the correct material (same as data sent by "CURA").
Then wait a few minutes to see if the print starts again (give in 10 mins min).
If the printer doesn't resume, it may need power down and restarting.
I suspect the material has got "stuck" somehow and the printer thinks it's "out of material".

A bit more context in case it helps:
The ultimaker S5 says: "Changing material: paused". The ... menu has 'pause' greyed out, abort is available and tune, but I don't want to abort and tune doesn't seem to let me do anything to get me out of my current state.
If I go to the material station UI on the printer, it shows an exclamation mark over the material I want to use, clicking on it it says "Material spool is empty". All the UI buttons are greyed out (which is a shame; I would love a "retry" or something here)
If I look at the material station itself, my spool is sitting there with around 1kg of material, and the material is loaded. There's a blue light on the '1' for where I feed the material into it. Clicking the button does nothing - it doesn't unload nor try to load further.
I'm not sure what to do. I feel like power cycling the unit would probably fix things, but then I'd lose the previous kilo of material I spent on this thing plus almost two weeks of time. Please help. :(
