I would guess that you have a loose or disconnected neutral
somewhere in that circuit. It could be at any receptacle, switch,
or point of use, or even the panel itself.

The interrupted, usually black, wire that you read on each side
of the switch is the hot. Neutrals are typically white. If your
switch has a black and white on the switch, it is a "switch leg" -
a way to use normal Romex while ignoring color conventions
(pretend both wires are black).
