Check your airlock and be sure it is not leaking around the bung. I have
had this happen and added a small amount of sugar to kick it in the pants and get it going. Next time I would probably use some concentrate instead. Of course you run the risk that if it does not start back up it may end up sweeter than it is now but it has always worked for me.
