Probably a clog, look up how to cold pull.
Cheerio,

RE: Filament won’t feed
Assuming it has worked before so we can exclude other factors such as wrongly adjusted tension screw, yeah, as Diem said it's most likely a clogged nozzle. Cold pull on the mini is a bit of a pain, you could also first try to heat the nozzle up to a higher temperature than what you had printed, e.g., ASA instead of PLA and then try to load your PLA (telling the printer it's ASA). This may be enough to melt the clog and push it through. If that doesn't work, cold pull it is.
