Have you looked at the helpful post that David Carlson posted on Friday
evening?

If the ending balance of your January Statement is not the same as the
ending "reconciled balance" from the result of the January reconcilation
process, then you've somehow accidentally unreconciled something.

Please look at what David wrote to help track down where the error
occurred.

I also recommend you perform an Actions -> Reset Warnings, in case you
accidentally put GnuCash into a state where it wont warn you if you try
to modify a reconciled transaction.
