No, there is not a seperate motor for each side.
Sounds like that arm has just come loose.
At the base of the arm where it attatches under the winshield, there is a nut that holds it on to a stud.
Pop oof the cap, if it has one, then move the wiper arm to the park position- assuming the system is off and the other arm is parked-
Then tighten the nut.
If it was stuck in the ice, the stud turns but the arm did not, and strips out the arm a little. Just tighten it down, and you will be good to go !

Re: Pontiac Grand Am Wiper Won't Move
This is a common problem, and I have had the wiper come loose again after tightening. A quick fix is to take a small drill bit between the arm and the stud (for lack of a better word). The small groove the bit makes is a nice place to slide a piece of copper wire into. This gives a sheer-pin type connection in case it needs it- and almost guarantees it not to start slipping again. I have had the experience of rolling down the window to "adjust" the wiper because of slippage
