Beware of scammers
It has already been explained to you why your transaction did not go through and how you can fix it. If you have any further questions, please post them.
However, I would issue a warning here: If someone contacts you and offers to help you, check their profile and only let people who have a good reputation help you. Otherwise it can be that your counterpart wants to cheat you and demands e.g. payments from you. Do not go on it in any case and / or post such requests here in the thread to let it be checked by several people.
normal that whenever they do see or look a newbie who needs up some help then it is really that likely that they would really be getting some personal message offering some service which it would really be asking out some upfront payment or so called fees on pushing up a certain transaction .
