Any ideas?

Sounds like you have loose lay click together planks and a butt joint has failed. Not uncommon. I fix this with super glue, a short 4x4 block, double stick tape and a hammer. Stick the block to the plank near the gap and before you beat it home (with your foot on the block) put a few drops of super glue along the locking butt joint. Pick the plank with the shortest distance from a wall. The joint will typically continue to migrate if you just fill the gap with caulk or whatever. My method is a permanent fix.
