As described, your Apple Pencil may displaying symptoms of a dead battery - that will not accept or hold any charge.
Assuming that you do not have any other iPad charging issues - and that the Lightning Port of your iPad is free from debris - whilst the Pencil is plugged-in to the Lightning Port of your iPad, verify that the Pencil is recognised:
Settings > General > About
Scroll to the bottom of the page - and you should find two identical entries for the Pencil (one each for the physical and Bluetooth connections).
The tiny internal Li-ion battery is susceptible to permanent/irreversible damage through being left discharged for long periods. Even some “new” pencils can exhibit signs of failure out-of-the-box if they are “old stock”.
It is essential that if you have an Apple Pencil that you charge it regularly - whether used or not - so as to protect the battery from deep-discharge. Do not allow a pencil to remain in low-charge state for any period of time - as the internal battery will fail, rendering the Pencil useless.
If the Pencil Battery has failed, the only remedy is to replace the Pencil. If purchased directly from Apple, if the battery has failed and your pencil is within its one-year warranty, you should look to having it replaced by Apple.
This troubleshooting guide may prove to be helpful in identifying and resolving issues with the Apple Pencil:
