By "undo", do you mean revert?

What does "svn status" show? Does it show this directory as deleted?
If so, revert the deletion.
The only other thing I can think of is that you somehow got a sparse
checkout excluding this folder. But you should know if you had done
this.
Working copies are supposed to be disposable, so if a working copy
gets messed up, sometimes it is simply necessary to check out a new
working copy and start using that instead.
