it very well could be a bad compressor, but you may also have a leak in one of the a/c lines, or the orfice tube. if you take it to a garage that does a/c work, they could hook it up to a machine and run an ultraviolet dye through the a/c system and look at it under the hood to see if there are any leaks. It could also be a simple thing as a schrader valve

Why is your home ac blowing hot air?

There could be several reasons that could be the cause of your problem. But more than likely the compressor is not working or you have lost all of your coolant. If it's a window AC then get a new one, if it's a Central HVAC then find a good HVAC Tech to check your compressor and Coolant Levels.
