Well pump issues

Regrading the driveway and did some work around the well head.
Carefully used a shovel but still dropped some clay down the casing.
Lost water pressure and noticed sediment filter was full of clay.
Cleaned it out and now only have a trickle of water, and not enough to pressurize the bladder tank.
Guessing the well pump inlet filled with mud.
Any ideas?
Thought maybe air pressure?
Probably just pay to replace the pump since it's 20 years old.
Fortunately I keep water jugs just in case, but they won't last long.
