Actually, that "file is locked" message is not a problem: it indicates that OmniFocus is doing what it's supposed to do, making sure that only one application is writing to your document at a time.
If you have the two copies of OmniFocus using the same document over the network, you can steal the lock back and forth without any issue, except that any edits-in-progress on the client who lost the lock will get lost since it has to reload the document to get the new edits from the other computer (who stole the lock out from under it).

I'm pretty sure I copied my file while Omnifocus was running because Omnifocus is always running. Except now. A rainbow ball is spinning. My head is hurting. Please tell me I can get my file back.

It would be great to find out what it's stuck doing, which you can do by running Activity Monitor (from Applications:Utilities), selecting OmniFocus in the process list, and selecting "Sample Process" from the View menu. If you send the resulting output to
omnifocus@omnigroup.com, we'll try to figure out how it got stuck.
In the meantime, you can force quit and relaunch OmniFocus—hopefully everything will be back to normal!
