Typically, if it's still under warranty, you'll have to exercise your warranty option.
An e18 error is one where the lens mechanism cannot extend or retract. It's a common problem. Fixing it is complicated, and depending on what exactly is seizing the mechanism, may actually require replacement parts, and not just a cleaning.
If you are in warranty, it's best left to to a trained technician. If you are out of warranty, there will be a cost to using a canon certified technician. If you are mechanically inclined, there is a fix procedure photodocumented, however there is no guarantee that once you open everything up that you won't find the root cause to be a permanently ruined gear mechanism.
Just so you know...I had an e18 error on an A-series camera that disappeared by itself...whatever was jamming it cleared itself, and now there are no problems. Go figure.

You could go to Canon's website and look up the error code there. You may have to put it in the shop.
