Typically what happens to keyless chucks with a little age is the threads on the base of the jaws start to wear and bind.
First try shooting a little lube down the chuck.
If this does`nt work, take a hammer and a small punch and “lightly” tap each jaw down into the chuck. This should loosen the chuck.
All Firestorm 12 V cordless drills have keyless chuck that’s released by turning counterclockwise, which happens when you put the drill in reverse and hold the chuck housing. I’m not sure someone who can’t figure out how to take a drill bit out of a drill should even be using a drill to begin with.
Turn the drill on reverse hold still the end part that the bit goes into and push the button to turn the drill on. The bit should come loose. Put the new one in and turn to forward and do the same to secure it. good luck.
Some drills you must pull out on the end (collet) and then turn it Counterclockwise. OR push in to unlock and turn counter clockwise.
