Hi Christi,
I think that you should have this tree assessed by a professional arborist. It looks like that one side is a hazard. I found this link, and I don't know if this is your problem, but it looks like it might be. The Arborist can tell you for sure: https://extension.umn.edu/plant-diseases/armillaria-root-rot
I hope you can save the tree.
