Check to see if there is power to the motor. If there is, check the motor. If no power, check the switch for power.

When I press it down like to roll it down there is a click noise, but it just will not come back up. It is cold because it is winter.

You can use a test light to check and see if you have a bad switch which would be easier then pulling the panel if its the switch. Also, those motors do not have pellets they have a thermal breaker to shut the motor off when fully up and fully down.
