Hello - your description suggests that there is a problem with one of the air duct routing doors, sometimes called "air blend" doors, in the heater. This could be caused by a failed heater door actuator or air blend door. I would recommend an inspection of the heater and heater controls by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
