First, try everything listed here (Apple's hotspot troubleshooting tips): https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203302

If, after you try Apple's steps, your wifi is working, but the USB still isn't, then try reinstalling iTunes.

(It turns out that iTunes installs a file that's used with iPhone USB connections. If that file gets corrupted, the USB hotspot tethering doesn't work!)
