I used my computer normally yesterday, then updated the system, rebooted my windows partition, rebooted back to my linux partition and when I booted I got the gnome "Oh not! something went wrong" message.
I tried
pacman -Rncs gnome gnome-extra
Followed by
pacman -S gnome gnome-extra
And then reboot, but I got the same error.
I then removed all my gnome extensions but it still doesn't work.
When I run
systemctl start gdm
I get
Failed to start gdm.service; Unit gdm.service failed to load: File exists. See system logs and 'systemctl status gdm.service' for details.
This is the output for "systemctl status gdm.service"
● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager

The output for
systemctl is-enabled gdm.service
is 'enabled'
I'm not sure what to do, please help

can you have a look through your journal to see if there is an entry similar to
set 22 12:16:44 arch-desktop gnome-session[432]: gnome-session[432]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell-wayland.desktop' killed by signal 11
This should find such an entry
journalctrl -b | grep gnome-shell-wayland.desktop
This is the recent thread I am basing this off which seems similar https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=202743
