If you have a problem with the Gmail account itself, you’ll need to resolve this problem with Google - where you can sign-in to your account.
As for sending or receiving email from your iPad, if using the native Mail App to send and receive email, the easiest method to resolve account issues will be to delete the mail account from your iPad - and then re-add the account.
To delete the account from iPad settings:
Settings > Mail > [Your Gmail account] > Delete Account
Once deleted, you can re-add the account:
Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you are instead using the Google Mail App, delete the App from your iPad, then restart the iPad before re-installing the Gmail App from the Apple App Store.
Be aware that some email providers now require the use of App Specific Passwords when accessing mail over IMAP or POP3. If this applies to your email account, you will need to generate a unique password for your iPad email account - that will differ from your normal Account Password. As examples - AOL, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft all use App Specific Passwords when using anything other than their own email client Apps.
If you need to generate an App Specific Password, you’ll need to log-in to your Mail Providers account management webpage - using a web browser - and generate the Password from the appropriate account security page.
