Me and my friend are giving each other the cold shoulder. Who's in the wrong?

Well, yes! That is more clear. At least you're no longer wondering if it is just a mistake! Although if you really have no idea what might have caused those kind of hard feelings, it's no less a mystery.
Well, I sent her a new follow request on Instagram this morning and she denied it. And after that, I texted her and asked her what's up. She responded with a text that said "Delete my number and don't ever contact me again. And don't you dare show up at (insert friend's name here) party next week."
I could press for an answer, but I think she's made her position clear.
Ok, well, now you know you've dodged a bullet. Could have done that days ago.
As for the party, tell her to suck it. If you were invited, you go.
Have to agree that both of you were somewhat in the wrong. No one lowered themselves to expend much energy trying to figure out what might have happened. Both waited for the other person to twitch first. A sort of emotional game of chicken. Look where it got you.
The only way you'll know what this whole silly kerfuffle was all about is to lay ego aside, offer an olive branch, meet up and ask. If she won't, guess your only option is to walk away. A true friend wouldn't let this lay so long because their friend and the friendship meant more to them. They'd attempt to solve the mystery, be prepared to own their part in it (unintentional or not) and offer an apology. If a friend of mine went off the deep end over something as trivial as not being one of their Instagram followers, detaching from them doesn't sound like any great loss. As for the ultimatum "don't you dare show up" garbage, that's just more petty melodrama. What's she going to do, go all ghetto and pick a fight at the party? Stupid all around.

You realize there is communication that does not require social media?

THIS^^^^! If this really was important for you, you would have reached out human to human "in person", not indirectly under some convenient SM facade. The more important a communication is, the more you should personalize/elevate it. You could have called her by phone, offered to meet up to talk face to face. You chose not to for whatever reason.

I suggest you go to the party unless the mutual friend rescinds the invitation. If she makes a scene tell that if you offended her in anyway it was not on purpose, but do not otherwise engage unless it can be quiet and polite. If this is the biggest problem you ever have you will be lucky, because it's a non event unless you make a scene. Every little thing doesn't have to be dramatized.
I'd say you're both wrong for acting like children.
OH NO! I was unfollowed on social media?! The HORROR!
No one could pick up a phone and call...sorry, apparently no one talks anymore...TEXT?
This situation is...dumb.
