I don't want to lose my files though? What can I do other than format it?

Formatting it is the only thing that might be able to revive it. To backup, download Solid Explorer, turn your phone to landscape mode (you can see two panels in landscape and only one in portrait), navigate in one of the panels to your ext. SD and in the other panel your internal SD. Copy all the stuff you want to keep from your internal SD to your external SD and then format it.

If he cannot access the internal storage then trying to use Solid Explorer is useless.
Try to dump the partition to the external SD (use an external SD card larger than the internal memory):
dd if=/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 of=/storage/sdcard1/full_dump_internal_sd
You might be able to use a linux box to check the filesystem - the file on external storage named full_dump_internal_sd (should be ext4 formatted as far as I know).

So I just put that into terminal?
Yes, but make sure that you have enough room on the external SD card to be able to backup the data.
Ive always flashed roms from my extsd, but the one I had died, cant get a new one till mon. Can I flash from the phone sd, Without causing problems? If so what should I wipe?

Yes you can flash from internal sd card. Same procedure as if flashing from ext sd card.

Hi there. You would in cwm touch choose install zip from internal instead of install zip from external sd card option. Cwm touch is pretty straight forward. Follow the choices. Also make sure you do your nandroid backup before flashing anything. You would want to save that backup to your external sd card when you get it to save device memory. A few backups on internal storage will eat up ALL your internal storage space on the phone so sd card is important to have. If your using cwm you MUST in settings specify for backups to go to EXTERNAL sd card other wise by default they go to internal storage.word of warning this will quickly use all your device storage so make certain once you get your sd to fix the settings so it will go by default to EXTERNAL sd card rather than internal device storage. Hope this helps you out. Best wishes
Hi is anyone else having an issue with TB not showing external SD card or some features like convert system app to regular app?

OK, mine is working fine, try this...
From preferences, select Backup Folder Location, hit the back arrow twice until you get a listing of folders; "emulated", "sdcard0" and "sdcard1" (this is your external SD), select "sdcard1" then create new folder, create the new TitaniumBackup folder and you should be good.

Thanks again Ripper but I did that already, it did change my backups to sd card and shows that in titanium under backup directory however it does not show my sd card at the bottom of titanium. It should be system rom then internal& media and then ext sd card listed. ext sd card is not listed

The only time I saw this was when I could not write to the external SDCard, once I fixed that mine is showing correctly. If you can write to your external SD, you may have another issue.

TB is the same for my G Pad with a Samsung 64GB card. Sure you can specify the external card as a backup location, but presumably TB can't automatically identify it as the external card. I imagine TB needs an update for the G Pad memory architecture (path naming).

I'm running the stock LG ROM. The card is formatted as exFAT, as supplied from Amazon.

I do not move apps to the SD card. I have no need or reason to. My TB overview screen does not show the external card. Those things do not prevent me writing to the card - it is writeable. Maybe I do not understand the problem. For me there is no problem.
EDIT - OK, now I think I understand - TB does not see the external card so it cannot report on its status and cannot move apps to it. In all other respects the card works as one would expect. As I said in my first post, it seems like TB needs updating in order to discover the card as mounted by the G Pad. Either that or use some sort of folder mount app to mount the external card where TB can find it.

CORRECT.... thanks for answering my questions
I noticed this also yesterday when I was on Stock ROM with TiBU. I thought my device was bad but on CM11 TiBU works as normal with the external SD. LG ROM is wonky.

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling it was LG's ROM
I've been looking more deeply into this, but I don't have the skills to come up with a solution. However, I have a feeling the problem stems from Android itself and while some manufacturers may have implemented their own workarounds it seems that LG has not. Here is an article which outlines the basis of the problem (if I am right).

No help to offer other than to share my experience - I stuck my SD card in the G Pad to restore my app data and have no problems with it. TB restored them from the SD card. I've also been using TB repeatedly to back up and restore Injustice Gods Among Us on my SD card (30 times a day) with no problems.

The problem has nothing to do with backups and restores. It is the inability to move apps to the external SD card. TB gives no clues to the problem - no helpful messages - but other app2sd type apps complain about the way storage is arranged, saying that external storage is emulated. Clearly that is nonsense, because the external SD card it's a very real physical storage device, but I think that multi user support has screwed thing up, as per the article I linked to earlier.
FWIW I have managed to get TB to show the external card on the overview screen by creating a folder in /mnt and using foldermount to point the folder to the external card, but it does not survive a reboot and does not overcome the problem with moving apps to external storage. Maybe foldermount could be used to move large data folders to the external card for apps such as offline navigation or games, which should free up some space from the internal storage. As I have no need to do that (yet) I have not tried.
Right now, my twrp backups is stored in my internal storage. Can I move that to my SD card? And how? An easy way would be appreciated.

Just copy the TWRP folder from the internal to external card.
Hello,i did a cwm backup and i cant find it with root explorer or when i connect my phone to the computer.If i try to restore cwm recovery shows me backup in /sdcard/cwm/....
Why is that?
It's in internal sd card, not in external. Next time you need to choose backup to external sd card.

If you want to restore, just go to recovery and choose restore. Then you can choose one of your backups. If you dont have external sd card, then the backup is in internal memory. Your backup will have aprox. 1.5GB, I recommend you to buy an external sd card, because soon you will have space problems, specially if you perform more backups in CWM recovery.
