Why can't Queen move to this position?

My friend sent me this screenshot and we can't figure out why he can't move Queen (black) to c4.  This appears to be a legal move and won't put the queen in check.  Does anyone know why this is?  See screenshot.

Queen can't move to c4

Its a screenshot of your game that is still ongoing.  Its considered cheating to ask for help.

It is blacks move, that is why white cannot move.

In response to IAMBacon and for clarification:
1. I’m not asking for help
2. I’m superbeetle (white) as is indicated by my username and the fact that this is my friend’s screenshot (Joelomatic) should further indicate i’m asking for understanding of how the game works on both our behalf.
3. He (black) is trying to move his queen to said position and can’t. We’re both wondering why this is.

The only queen that can move to c4 is the white queen.

1. This was my first time playing chess.

2. My friend explained to me which pieces are what. 

3. He had the pieces confused. 

4. I’m not sure I can ever show my face here again ; (

Thank you all for not being too brutal with me, lol.

We all start at the beginning when learning.  No need to feel bad about it.
