Make sure your main water is turned on by turning on another sink or bath and if it is then turn your toilet valve off and on a couple times and see if any water comes out in your tank. If still no water is filling the tank then shut off the valve and take the supply tube off the valve and turn the valve on slowly to see if you have any water comming out. If still no water then your valve is plugged or your pipe to the valve is plugged which then you would need to clean out your valve or lines with the whole house water shut off. Sometimes I have seen that the plug is in between the valve an supply pipe connection and as soon i take the supply pipe off and turn on the valve it works just fine even when I put the supply pipe back to the toilet. I don't think it would be in your fill valve in your toilet tank unless you have pressure assist tanks and with them all you need to do is take out the screen inside them.
