No Water when I turn on bathtub/shower faucet

I have not used the tub/shower faucet in some time. Today when I went to turn on the faucet, no water comes out. Help

You need to do some investigating and get back to us with more info. Does the toilet flush correctly, how about the water at all other faucets and toilets?

Yes, the toilet flushes and the sink in the bathroom has water also.

Time to open the tub faucet mechanism. Turn off the main, remove the handle and bezel. You should see a brass or chrome hex that can be unscrewed to remove the valve stem. Once it is out cover the opening with a towel and have a friend briefly open/close the main. Did you get pressure? If yes clean or replace your valve or cartridge.
