Yeah it should be an easy fix for a bike shop and the link above while help you decide if you could do it yourself. It could be something really simple or it could be the whole hub/freehub connection.
I'd pop along to a bike shop, even though I can take a bike to bits and rebuild it. I'd let them do it
If you are a bit of a spanner monkey you can do it yourself, with the tools, here’s a link for you all about them.

Failing that there will be videos on youtube showing you how to do it or your LBS mechanic will sort it for a fee. The freewheels themselves are relatively inexpensive.
Good luck
Cheers mate,is it able to be repaired?
Sounds like a freehub/cassette issue.
So the chain will spin right round, moving the cassette and still the wheel doesn't move?
If thats the case, your freehub is shot
