The wipers im familiar with have a star * shaped shaft coming out of the motor that the wiper arm slides over. I've seen the "fingers" of the star get shaven off due to trying to operate the wipers when frozen or just pain wear. So basically your motor has no grip on the wiper arm. The arms should slide off and you can check the motor shafts for wear.

A very likely cause is that the arms are not secured to the wiper transmission linkage. I recommend attempting to tighten the nuts that attach the arms first, and if this does not correct the problem I recommend taking it to a professional repair facility.

the mechanical connection between the motor and the wiper arms has come loose
