Hello! I believe you have a lid switch issue on your hands. If the lid is up, the machine will fill and agitate, but won't spin and drain. If the lid switch is broken, it will think that it's open and won't drain.
There should be a small hole beneath the lid, on the top of the unit, on the right side. Inside that hole should be a paddle. Try moving the timer to "spin", pulling the knob out to start a cycle, and pressing down on that plastic paddle.
You will probably need to replace the switch. It's super easy and cheap, here's the part:
