An original issue discount is the difference between the value that was originally purchased and the value at maturity. For instance if you purchase a bond for $90 that will be worth $100 at maturity the OID is ten bucks.
Your case sounds super weird. And out of our scope here. I have no idea why an instrument that is worth less now than when you purchased it would generate an OID of that size. You might want to speak to a professional in your area and have them review this investment.
