Answer: If you have GFCI receptacles try pushing the test and reset button.If that doesn't work check to make sure the circuit breaker has not tripped.If thats not the case,you may have a lose wire or a receptacle that has went bad that is in the beginning of the receptacle run.You can check the wires attached to the receptacles for power,if none of the wires have power there may be a lose connection some where in the circuit.If your not capable of doing this safely,call someone who is.But I hope its something minor that you can fix.
