It can be a bunch of things. Firstly check it is either the esc or your motor if you can by swapping each for a known working one. Secondly and a bit of a long shot, re calibrate the ESC with the TX just in case. Finally check all your wiring that it is good and tight, well soldered and no dry joints.

Following that it could be:

1. Motor phase gone open circuit possibly unsoldered inside if it has got hot. Can be fixed by resoldering but need to fix why it got hot
2. Motor sensors failed - you can get a a thing called a "widget" to check if the sensor is working If it is the sensor it can be replaced.
3. ESC driver circuitry (FET's) stopped working. Specialist job to fix and time consuming so usually cheaper to buy a new one or see if who you bought it from will part ex it.
4. Sensor circuitry in the ESC - probably not fixable see 3.
