All of a sudden when I turn my phone on asks for PAC number but not swapping providers or done anything. Won’t let me call or rec calls apart from through what’s up app so really not sure what I can do?

Might be worth trying a new sim first or trying a different sim in your phone.

Guide: Is the network down for me or everyone? 

If not that, a factory reset may be required.

PAC = Porting Authority Code, used for porting mobile numbers between networks.

PUK = Personal Unlock Key, used for unlocking a SIM where the PIN has been entered incorrectly sufficient times.

 

Are you getting PAC & PUK confused?
