As such, it was possible for Congress to compel Bill Clinton to testify regarding the Whitewater affair.
If you refuse to honor a subpoena, an arrest warrant can be issued and contempt proceedings initiated. If you appear but refuse to testify, unless you are invoking your fifth amendment right against self-incrimination or asserting a recognized privilege against compelled testimony, you can also be held in contempt. Of course, it's hard to find a witness in contempt for an inability to remember.
I don't believe you have much choice. If you are not the defendant, married to the defendant, or legally insane and a danger to your self and others, you have to testify. If you refuse, you can be held in 'Contempt of Court', and will go to jail.
