Weeping Pussy Willow Mayhem

I planted a weeping pussy willow in my front yard about 5 years ago. This past spring it looked as if it were dead. However, by end of summer (now) the original trunk has not grown one sprig of life, but from the roots there are at least 20 odd branches growing. They have almost completely enveloped the original trunk, which stands about 5’8 inches. I have NO idea what to do with it. It’s obviously not dead, but I don’t want to kill it by messing with it too much. HELP!
