I need to go to Riverwood for a quest but every time I show up the NPCs start wildly attacking me (including ones with the little icon over them indicating they need to be interacted with). I don't know what to do. Please advise. I am on PS4 and not using mods, if that helps.

I know of two possibilities:
- You commit crimes against them, this can be checked by opening your journal and under "Crimes" tab check your bounty in Whiterun which Riverwood is under. If you have any bounty then it is possible that you have committed crimes against them. This can be cleared by surrendering to any Whiterun guards and serving you jail term or a few other means.
- You are a Starving Vampire, vampirism is split into four stages of hunger. By the time you reach the last stage and is starving for blood normally friendly NPCs will attack you on sight. This can be cleared by fleeing out of sight of NPCs and feeding. If you want to avoid getting a bounty for feeding you can consider feeding on bandits instead.

You need to sheath your weapon (have it NOT drawn) and try talking to them or go to the thieve's guild and see if they will help you clear your bounty (you must be a member to do this).

I am quite sure the other question I linked in my answer explained in details how to clear your bounty. You should read it and maybe one of the other solutions may suit you more. More importantly, only guards arrests, if it is just aggressive citizens they will not attempt to arrest even if you yield. They will only cease aggressiveness if you committed a petty crime.

If you can, try to find a scroll or spell of Calm and try it on a guard, then talk to them. This should help. If not, simply avoid Riverwood, reload a save BEFORE they was angry, or, if you you could find a mod that somehow cures the issue (in which unless the first two options work I HIGHLY recommend do not do).

Old question, but I think I have an answer on how to fix.
The same thing happened to me: I traveled back to Riverwood and everyone in the entire town wanted to attack me on sight. The guards were also making off comments about how I smelled like I was robbing graves, etc. I am neither a vampire nor a werewolf. I have no bounty in the Whiterun hold. The only thing I could think of is that a bug caused some internal flag to be erroneously set that told the game I was a criminal. If this was the case then I'd have to find a way to somehow trick the game into resetting that flag.
So I killed a chicken on purpose in front of a guard. As soon as the guard approached with the usual "hey stop right there" dialog, everyone in the town sheathed their weapons and went about their business. I paid my fine, spend the night in jail, and was able to return to Riverwood without further incident.

If you can, try to find a scroll or spell of Calm and try it on a guard, then talk to them. This should help. If not, simply avoid Riverwood, reload a save BEFORE they was angry, or, if you you could find a mod that somehow cures the issue (in which unless the first two options work I HIGHLY recommend do not do).

This is happening with everyone you listed. I can’t surrender to a guard as typically they are also angry and continue to attack no matter what.

Old question, but I think I have an answer on how to fix.
The same thing happened to me: I traveled back to Riverwood and everyone in the entire town wanted to attack me on sight. The guards were also making off comments about how I smelled like I was robbing graves, etc. I am neither a vampire nor a werewolf. I have no bounty in the Whiterun hold. The only thing I could think of is that a bug caused some internal flag to be erroneously set that told the game I was a criminal. If this was the case then I'd have to find a way to somehow trick the game into resetting that flag.
So I killed a chicken on purpose in front of a guard. As soon as the guard approached with the usual "hey stop right there" dialog, everyone in the town sheathed their weapons and went about their business. I paid my fine, spend the night in jail, and was able to return to Riverwood without further incident.
