Help My lock/power button won't work at all!

My lock/power button will NOT work. I've had this phone since March and just now have had problems.

A few weeks ago, my phone started waking up and etc on its own, which wasn't really on its own because if I BARELY touched the power button, it would recognize it as being pressed, and wake up, or present me with the options to turn it off, restart, etc.

Today, the button just is not working. I took the battery out and put it back in and it didn't help. I had an update for google play services and updated it, but it didn't help either.

My phone isn't rooted.

Is this a software or manufacturer problem?

I'm not home so I can't really bring it anywhere, and I can use other things to text or something, so this really isn't a big problem, but I'm kinda upset because I LOVE my phone.
