I have a well pump in my garage that seems to have stopped working. When plugging it in, I hear it running, but the pressure never goes up, and the motor never stops. No idea what I’m doing with this thing.

If there is a pump above ground it may have lost prime - look up priming a well pump. If you're hearing the pressure tank running, there might be an air leak in the bladder leaving it unable to hold pressure.
