I suggest contacting data recovery services, hard drives are extremely sensitive devices, and when dropped can permanently damage the platters or heads. Just because the drive spins doesn't mean it works sadly.
I would not send it back to WD as they would just do a drive replacement, they won't recover the data.

Best chance is there is some damage to the USB controller for the HDD, most likely cause is irrecoverable damage to the HDD itself.
