It's not the foot, it is the 'Feed Dogs', the teeth in the base that pull the material UNDER the foot. The most likely reason is that you have lowered them too much, or set it to 'embroidery'.
You probably didn't disengage the sewing machine mechanism. Hold the hand wheel steady so that it will not move with one hand. Use your other hand to rotate the knob in the center of the hand wheel towards you. When the unit is properly disengaged, the motor can't move the needle bar. When done winding the bobbin, you need to hold the hand wheel and then turn the knob away from you. See page 9 of the manual for the Creative 1471. Pfaff has the manual on the product page: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Machines/creative-1471 . The current link to the manual is http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/creative1471-manual-EN.pdf .
Did you turn the knob inside the hand wheel backwards while holding the wheel itself? If that knob is in the correct position, did you hear it snap into place when you rotated the hand wheel towards yourself? Does the needle bar move up and down when you rotate the hand wheel?
If the machine still doesn't work, it may be that the belt is bad. This connects the shaft of the motor to the mechanism that runs the needle bar.

The belts are probably available at most Pfaff or other sewing machine dealers. This page, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/pfaff-1471-sewing-machine-parts.aspx , is one source. You want the motor belt.
