What kind of hosting you are on? if this is a shared webhosting contact your provider and tell him that mysql is down
if you are using a VPN you'll have to restart mysql

Assuming that you have a linux shared hosting (most have that only). Here's the link for instructions to enable ssh.

GoDaddy - Enable SSH for my Linux Hosting account

If you want to use SSH to connect to your Linux Hosting account, you need to enable it first.

in.godaddy.com

After you have your credentials download ssh software called putty and login with these credentials and run the command

sudo systemctl start mysql

Alternatively, you can contact and request your hosting provider to restart mysql. Or, you may look for option to restart mysql in cpanel. I have not used shared GoDaddy shared hosting for a long time, so not sure if they have that option.
