There should have been a guard to greet you, tell you the city is closed, and you can give him your reasons for entry. Have you talked to either Alvor or Gerdur in Riverwood? (Alvor if you followed Hadvar out of Helgen, Gerdur if you followed Ralof)

k thanks

Are you using the Another life mod? That still requires you to get the game set once you get near Whiterun, asjreese46 said. Talk to them will set up a quest to see the Jarl, which will enable the guards to interact with you, and enable them to open the gate.

found a workaround, as teleporting didn't help I just went to jail and appeared inside the keep

Attack a guard then sheath weapons, then choose to pay off the fine and you should be taken to dragonsreach.

If you ever need to get into a place again, another thing you can use is the coc command.

You would search, with the help command, for where you want to be. For example,

help bannered

or

help "bannered mare"

and it should bring you the list of possibilities. Look for CELL (I think it's whiterunbanneredmare, or something like that. Assuming that's accurate, you would use COC (center on cell)

coc whiterunbanneredmare

and you will appear in the bannered mare (or wherever you told it you wanted to go). There's also a cow (center on world) command, but that requires you to know the coordinates, such as

cow tamriel 4, -2

wherever that may be. You'd have to use the uesp or wikia to find the coordinates of where you wanted to go, rather than the help command.

Not something useful for all gameplay, but can be handy if you need to get into our out of something.

Make your own tread, load one save before you started to kill people in Riverwood.

Quite Simple to solve naturally without command codes or even If you're playing on the console.
Just punch a Whiterun Guard and lower your weapons to trigger the Quote for Arrest event.
When that happens, pay the bounty. You shall now spawn in front of Dragonsreach and the Whiterun's door shall be unlocked now.

Right-o! :D
Let me and the others know if it works.
Otherwise I'll try to see other ways to fix that.

I solve this bug or whatever this is in some funny method. I hitted a guard of Whiterun and put down weapons so the guard arrested me and put yo the jail. There you can escape or sleep and spend time in a jail. Soon you will be released and find yourself near the Jarl residence in Whiterun, and gate will be open and free to pass thru. If gates closes again after a while talking to Jarl may help. (Sorry for my English, i'm from Ukraine and still write not very well...)
