It sounds like you have a dead battery.

This requires removing the screen, hopefully without damaging it and then removing the logic board etc. It's a fairly involved repair. I suggest you check out this repair guide to see if you are comfortable doing this yourself or if you prefer to have it done by a shop. All the tools and parts are listed in the guide.
