Does that card work in the micr-sd slot in your PC/laptop? In antoher phone?
Does another card work in your phone?

it seems your choices are:
- buy another card (and see if that works)
- have your phone repaired or buy another phone (if another card doesn't work either)
- don't use a card, only use the available internal storage
