Try an SMC Reset if you have an Intel Mac.

Disconnect all external devices from the laptop.

Make sure to connect the charger directly to the laptop since a multi-port adapter, dock, or hub may not allow the charger's full power to reach the laptop. Try each USB-C port especially on the other side of the laptop if you have four ports. Also try rotating the USB-C connector 180 degrees upside down (I know it sounds crazy, but it can make a difference sometimes).

Try unplugging the charger from the electrical outlet for a minute to reset the charger's internal circuitry.

Here is an Apple article for troubleshooting USB-C charging issues:

If you find any ports to not work correctly, then you will need to have the laptop repaired.
