My player is playing an Aarakocra warlock. He has no spell slots except for his pact slots and his mystic arcanum. He is only able to upcast his lower level spells to fifth level and use a pact slot to cast them. He can only cast speak with animals at level one because it is his eldritch invocation and he can cast it without using a spell slot.
tl;dr My player has no spell slots. How do I solve this? Is there any way to fix it? And what might be the cause?
If he has his pact slots that's just how warlocks work. They only get a couple spell slots at the highest level available to them. Refer to the warlock table here https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/7-warlock
If he has 5th level slots he will either have 2-4 spell slots depending on his level as warlocks cap out at 5th level slots.
The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your warlock spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level.

The cause? He's a warlock, there's nothing to fix. What you described is literally how a warlock's magic works.
