If she has changed the locks she might be trying to tell you something, but she cannot stop you from returning to the house, before you go kicking down the door, go back to the house with the police.
Fatherdoright’s answer is not exactly correct.
If your spouse can prove that you separated by moving out during that time, then, yes you can be charged with domestic criminal trespass for returning to the property without your spouse’s consent.

My wife refused to talk to me or socialize for 3 days simply because I said I had a headace one morning. The last night of these three, she wakes me at 4am, in my face arguing and I couldn’t sleep. I even attempted to make my bed in the garage and she followed. I grabbed a few clothes and went to my mom and dad’s. It’s been a week now and she appears to have calmed down. I want to go back home but she has changed the locks and says she doesn’t want me home right now. Can she do this? Can I be served with domestic criminal trespass if I show up at my home and refuse to leave? I have kept phone contact and she has everything, car, paycheck - all.
