MacBook Air Not Charging - MagSafe 2

My MagSafe 2 charger only blinks green once and never turns red like it used to; red meaning that it’s charging. My computer is dead and won’t let me restart, it barely charges.

Sometimes it manages to get 1% of charge in only to die quickly after again.

What should I do?
