    Frozen pipes.
    OR
    Town shut water off either because bills not paid (rare that they actually shut it off) or work is being down down the street. Where I live, an automated phone call is sent out, or a note left on my door.

    I have a well I don't have a water bill and it's 50 outside so I don't think pipes are frozen

    I'm no well guy (city boy here), but Jlisenbe, hkstroud, Ma0641 and even Tom know tons about this stuff! For now, check for power at the breaker/fuse panel and make sure that power is getting to the pump to start... report back.

    I went down into the well house and didn't find the pump so think it's submersible but I found pipes leading underground and had a valve on it and I turned it and water came out

    How many pipes going down the well?
    You must have a tank inside somewhere.
    Need to find that. There should be a pressure gauge there. There should also be a pump pressure switch.
    Check breaker in electric panel.
    If breaker is not tripped tell us what pressure gauge reads.
