Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see you have accidentally turned off the ringer on your iPhone and want it back on. There are two possibilities that come to mind, the ring/silent switch and Do Not Disturb.
The most common cause of this is the ring/silent switch was changed to silent mode. See this page from the iPhone Help on the Ring/Silent switch:
The other option is that Do Not Disturb was turned on, this article provides information on turning it on/off.
Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Cheers
