Help Please

A FB friend asked my if her friend could transfer some money into my PayPal account and then withdraw and transfer to her bank account. I agreed before getting worried. I asked to speak with her on the phone but she said she has no phone. This was all on FB Messenger. I then realised it was a scam and refused to withdraw the money. I have contacted the police and tried to contact PayPal but they are closed. I now have just under £400 in my account and I don't want it. Help Please. I am a 61 year old man with stage 4 cancer alone with my ten year old son
