This is an issue Facebook has just recently (within the last few hours) admitted to. They are saying a bug in their system caused the deactivation of several accounts. Appears to be all female users for some reason. There have now been reports that some user accounts are being restored, so it looks like you just need to wait until they get to reactivcating your account. You can read more here:
