By ratchet I take it you mean the chuck, if it’s a drill bit near the max size of the chuck they do occasionally get stuck in the ryobi chuck- mine does this.

Get a pair of water pump pliers to undo it slightly, if it doesn’t release try tightening slightly before undoing

Ive had the same problem with a Dewalt drill too and the water pump pliers was my go to.
