If the motor is getting power from the switch and still not moving, the problem is the motor / regulator. If no power is received from the switch when pressing, the problem is the switch. Make sure the fuse is not blown, if the other windows work, this can be ruled out. A trained technician, like one from YourMechanic can get that inspect your window make the necessary repairs for your problem.
