Try resetting it by pressing the MENU and PLAY button simultaneously for a few seconds. that usually resolves common problems dealing with the clickwheel.

Hold down the middle button and the top of the scroll wheel until you see the apple symbol. Keep holding the middle button then hold down the bottom of the scroll wheel. This will reset the iPod so that it will work. If the scroll wheel is still not working, take it to the place you purchased it or if it is in the area, find a local Apple Store and take it to them. They will be able to assist as well.
That could be one of two problems: Either the cord of the click wheel has been disconnected from its socket which will be an easy fix and you only have to pay labor, or you may just need a new click wheel which should still be cheap.
"I figured it out with the help of other peoples problems. I pressed the
menue and middle button at the same time for about 8 seconds until the
apple came up. It took doing it three times. Works just fine now!"
This usually happens if the membrane of the action button deteriorates and the gold plated contacts between membrane and logic board do no longer establish good contact. There are specialized online tutorials with iPod Repair instructions that will guide you through the steps of taking it apart and cleaning the contact or replacing the button altogether otherwise you'll have to send it to any third party iPod repair service and they'll replace the membrane for you.
Press and hold the center button while pressing down on the menu buttton. The Apple logo will appear. This will reboot your Ipod.
If that doesn't work, restore your Ipod to factory settings by plugging your Ipod into Itunes and select restore to factory settings from you Ipod settings in Itunes.
if you are new with ipods you have a the little circle that says menu play etc.... that is a touch wheel and that is what you use to select what you need but this is all i know
to reset switch hold button off and on again then press the menu and
the center button simutaneausoly until the apple logo appears and goes
bright and there .has been reseted
