Check power to it. If it has power start checking the electrical components in the unit. If the components are good it sounds like you have a refrigerant leak and you got no juice. Do you have a multimeter?

I have nothing. Including knowledge of refrigerators. I unplugged it for a while then plugged it back in. Got a very faint hum and some clicking. Didn't cool at all. I'm unplugging it for the night.
If you have no knowledge about this stuff, and dont know anyone that does, start looking on Craigslist. Service call is going to cost more than a new fridge, and that's just to troubleshoot the problem. Could be a bad capacitor, could be a dead compressor, could be a bunch of things, but if you can't diagnose it yourself, you're going to pay through the nose to get it fixed.
If it's a new fridge under warranty, you might still be on the hook for labour, even if the parts are covered. If it's a compressor you're going to pay at least 2 hours labour, so it would make sense to be aware of the terms ahead of time.

Get a 3 in 1from appliance repair. Most often the thing that goes on fridges is the overload.
