Picked up my acoustic steel string after a bit and noticed that whilst it was in tune the B string's E was up at the 6th fret. It's annoying the heck out of me. I've restrung it and same.
Open B is fine but it's flat up the fret board

1Check the bridge/saddle hasn't moved. By checking the intonation at the 12th fret. The fretted note should be the same pitch as the harmonic there.– TimMar 3, 2021 at 8:17

I feel stupid now. I have to replace the nut. Slot cracked so obviously that's the reason that it's one fret up as the 1st fret is acting as the new nut

Don’t feel that way, you figured it out, didn’t you? You could try the crazy glue baking soda trick (just google it) to repair your old nut till you get a chance to change it. I’ve heard it works well enough that people have used it as a permanent repair. Mar 3, 2021 at 16:35
