Ive been having trouble with a transaction I made yesterday. I set a 1sat/b fee, since Im not at all in a hurry to have it confirmed. I woke up today and went to check and it is no longer anywhere to be found on a block explorer. The transaction doesnt exist on any explorer and, naturally, the original output hasnt been spent and the destination address hasnt received anything either.

I imagine this means it dropped out of the mempool? This has never happened to me before and Im not quite sure how it works. It had only been about 12 hours since I had made it. I thought it usually spent a lot longer in there before it dropped.

Are you sure you're searching for the right transaction? (is the tx id right? which block explorer are you using?)
Transactions don't get dropped after only 12 hours. I've had a few that lasted days before getting confirmed.

Anyway, here is where the problem starts: Ive made the transaction using a Ledger Nano S. According to Ledger Live, the desktop software, the transaction still exists, though it has no confirmations. There is a sync button in there that supposedly updates the info from the blockchain, but nothing happens when I press it. In the ledger support website, they suggest I clear the softwares cache which would allow it to solve any syncing issues but no luck. Ive even reset all accounts from Ledger Live and paired the device again and still, nothing.

Try using your Nano S with the Electrum wallet. How to: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005161925-Set-up-and-use-Electrum

See if the transaction shows up there. If it does, right click -> Details -> Copy; then, go to a few tx broadcasters [1] [2] [3], paste the code there and submit it.

So, what now? I thought about doing a RBF but I suppose Ledger would try to spend it from the change address of the original transaction, which hasnt been confirmed. There were no other outputs in the wallet. What happens then?

Would a Child-Pays-For-Parent work for this?

It would to get it confirmed quickly. Just open your Nano S wallet with Electrum and follow these instructions: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-do-a-manual-child-pays-for-parent-transaction/
