Based on the information you give, the problems could be:
1). If it can't move totally (not even 1 cm), when you operate the button (or there isn't any sign that the power window motor works), then it could be the electric motor or the power line or the button itself.
2). If it is still can be moved up and down (even within half inch range), then it could be the mechanism between the railing and gear. In this case, the window may derail or have a broken plastic brackets(that holds the glass and the rail)
I hope this would help....

I think the plastic guides are pretty cheap to replace.
