There are CLI editors available in Ubuntu:
- nano
- vi
If you're unable to simply call nano or vi you can try with absolute paths:
/bin/nano .profile
or
/usr/bin/vi .profile
And if you want to bring the default .profile back you can use the template from /etc/skel/.profile
/bin/cp /etc/skel/.profile /home/yourname/.profile
