Battery not charging

My MacBook all of sudden only works when plugged in and the battery is not charging at all. I've also tried plugging in another mac charger and it only works with my original one. I've rebooted a few times... nothing changes.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Sounds like the battery needs service.
