Lock a row after a value is chosen from a drop down menu

I'm very new to VBA and was wondering if someone could help me write a code to lock a row after a certain value is chosen from a drop down list in the last column (Q) and then the file is saved.

For example, the rest of the row is filled out normally with text values, integers, and also a few choices from drop-down lists. The last column, when the answer "Yes" is chosen from a drop-down list, I have conditional formatting that causes the entire row to be highlighted.

After, the "yes" value is selected, and the user saves the spreadsheet, I would like if the entire row became locked to prevent any tampering/errors.

Right now, I have the sheets protected with a password that prevents selecting of "locked cells."

Thanks in advance!
