You have provided no details as to your iPad model - or the installed version of iOS/iPadOS.


The tags appended to your post suggest that you have an iPad2 with iOS9 installed. If this is indeed the case, this is the cause of your difficulties; iPad2 does not support Apple Pencil at all.


As such, we have insufficient information from which to offer tailored advice. Assuming that you actually have an iPad that supports Apple Pencil - and that your Pencil itself is compatible with your iPad - these links may be helpful with troubleshooting:


Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support

Connect Apple Pencil with your iPad – Apple Support

Charge your Apple Pencil and check the battery – Apple Support

If you can provide more information, it may be possible to provide more targeted advice and/or guidance.
