I think you are asking why the cursor isn’t moving as your fingers move across the trackpad but there are other things you might be asking. If my answer below isn’t responsive then please give us more details with examples as to what you are seeing/not seeing.
I can think of a couple reasons why the trackpad isn’t responsive. If you have a mouse connected to the computer disconnect it and see if the trackpad works now. If so you’ve set the computer to disable the trackpad while a mouse is connected. This is found in the Accessibility control panel under Mouse/Trackpad options.
Try rebooting the computer. Sometimes the keyboard/mouse becomes unresponsive and this fixes it.
If neither of these suggestions work give AppleCare a call.

no I am not connecting a mouse. I can use the trackpad to move my cursor but I can't use it with 3 fingers to change between pages on my screen. I have to minimize each one to view another.
now it worked after shutting down my Mac. Thank you.
I love you
