After returning the sceleton key to it's place, Nocturnal appears, gives her speach and leaves. Now I'm supposed to talk to Karliah but she just stands ther with her hands in the air and I get "this person is busy" note when I try to talk to her. The journal doesn't update the quest to "talk to Karliah" it still says "listen to Nocturnal" even though she's long gone. And I can't leave this place until I talk to Karliah. Is there any way to solve this problem???

PC or console?

If PC try saving and reloading the game. Sometimes that fixes a glitch. You may have to go back to the prior save which shouldn't be that far before you placed the key.

Spoiler

did the ghost from the beginning come in and talk to Karliah?

. If not, that has to happen before she can be approached as well.
