Check the AC low pressure line switch, its next to the firewall. Unplug it with the engine running and the AC on. Using a short piece of wire, short it to itself and the compressor clutch should engage. If not you have a serious problem and check your OBD codes.
If the clutch engages, then put the switch back in place, buy a can of r134a and add it to your system. It is low on r134a. Add a can of seal lubricant if the pressure is not high enough. If you have had your AC turned off all winter, that usually does it.
