sounds like the inlet valve has stuck in closed position. Turn off the water feed to the cistern remove the inlet valve and fit new one, or clean up replace the washer on the old one.
Of course the other scenario is someone in the property has closed off the stop valve on pipe that feeds the cistern and hasn't turned it back on. Yes its happened.
