AC Not Working

I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan with the 3.0 and 87k Miles and the AC is not working. The funny thing is that it all of a sudden stopped working, it worked one day and then didnt work the next. It isnt like it slowly got less and less cool. Now, I have the AC snowflake lit, with the temp all the way in the blue with the fans on high, and I get nothing, the compressor doesnt even turn on and it is not cycleing. Does this mean my compressor is bad or just the AC Clutch relay is bad?

Any info would be helpful, thanks!!

It is hard to tell what happened without putting pressure guages on both the high and low sides. The system has pressure sensors that turn off the compressor if the high side pressure is too high or the low side pressure is too low. Most likely, you lost enough gas to that it turned off the compressor. Either get some pressure guages to check for yourself or take it to a shop.
