For some reason, my vacuum won’t pick anything up off of the floor. I replaced the bag, so that isn’t the problem. I even ermoved the hair and gunk on the rollers. It still won’t work. What could be the problem?

Check the belt. It might be worn and need to be replaced.
usually when this happens to me, one of the hoses has a clog in it. find something long and skinny (wire coat hanger unfolded?) and maneuver it through the hoses to see if you have a clog. Always works for me.
if the belt is ok, you may need to disassemble the unit and clean all the hoses make sure there is no plug farther up the pipe than you can reach. I have had several that got plugged up like this.
Your hose could be blocked with hair and other debris check the hose and if you have a stick you can push out the blockage, I have a housecleaning business and this same thing happened to me the other day so I checked the hose and sure enough it had some blockage so I did what I suggested above and was then back in business and the vacuum as good as before Good Luck !
What kind of vacuum? If it is an upright the inlet may be clogged. Also a clogging problem for a canister type.
Try pushing a broom handle through the hose to remove the clog.
The belt is a good idea too! turn the head over on the ground and start it , if the brushes don’t turn, your belt is probably broken.
When I have had this same problem it was most usually the belt was broken. Try checking the belt. Sometimes this requires a screw driver to get into the belt, itself. Good Luck. Bev
It’s broken?
I would first turn on the vacuum, and place it on its side to see if the roller brush is rotating. If it isnt rotating the belt is probably broken. If that is not the problem i would then turn off the vacuum, crush the bag, and turn on the vacuum again to see if the bag expands. If the bag expands greatly the vacuum is probably not clogged.
