Most likely, the fill valve is in the corner of the tank and has a float that goes up and down on a shaft. There are several types of these, but they all come apart in the same basic way. Shut the water off to the toilet. Either where it comes through the wall or the main shutoff for the house. Hold the shaft of the valve below the top and twist the top 1/6th of a turn counter clockwise. The top with the arm coming out of it. Lift the top off and there will be a quarter size black or red washer in the top of the stack with a small rod in the middle. Replace this washer. If there is a build of of loose sediment under the washer, turn the water on slightly while holding your hand or a cloth over the valve to flush out the sediment. Put a new washer in and the top back on. If this is too complicated, the whole fill valve is about $10 new.

If on a well, check filter coming into house. It will drop pressure if clogged really badly. Change filter, also small blue bladder tank may be bad. Tube inside tank busted.
