Ideally, you should remove the section of carpet with mold. After that, either inspect or have a professional inspect the subfloor. It will probably also have mold. People hate to admit it, but mold is a very serious problem. If necessary, remove a portion of the sub floor and inspect there. If the mold did not penetrate the sub floor, remove all the carpet and inspect the sub floor. Remove all moldy spots and install new sub floor and carpeting.
Finally, you should try to locate the source of water for the mold. It's probably in the ceiling, so hope you are on the highest story of your building - or you'll have a lot of drywalling to do. If you're not on the highest level, you'll need to get into the ceiling. This might be a job for a professional.
