All the top floor lights have all gone out but the bottom floor lights and plug sockets are fine

[Electricnovice123]

Hi everyone,
Yesterday my sister switched on the bedroom light and all the lights o the top floor went out! there are six lights in total and none of them work at the moment. The lights on the bottom floor work and all the plug sockets on both floor's work fine too.
I know next to nothing about electrics so am at a loss what to do! I changed the bulb of the bedroom light to see if that made a difference but no luck.
I dont know if there is an easy fix I can do myself or if I should call the electrician?
Thank you for your help in advance!

If your lights go out do you check to see if the wife has paid the gas bill

The odd one out with B6 probably written on it !
( Facing other way to rest )
If there was a bang that bulb you swapped - was guilty
(and a bit cheap-maybe )
