I assume this is a basic Kenmore top loader made by Whirlpool.
Move the timer to the spin position and see if it will spin. If it will the water level switch may be the problem so check it out. If not, and it will not spin try replacing the timer.
If you need more help please post a full model number and the results of doing the above.

Ok, if it drained then the coupling is suspect. If it did not drain when yyou moved the dial to spin, then check out the lid switch.

Again, assuming this is a direct drive top loader, you can open up the console and you will find a plastic connectore to the lid switch. Take that connector apart and you can either use a multi-meter to test continuing when the lid is down, or you can use a solid core wire to jumper the lid switch (insert stripped ends of the wire into the non green wire connector holes on the connector coming from the console) and see if it works.
Also, there are videos in the video library section at the top of the main washer repair page that will help you.
