Look up toilet repair on YOUTUBE and you might get some ideas. Sounds like the float may not be working correctly. I would remove it (part is probably something like the Fluidmaster Universal Fill Valve) and put in a new one. The type I use is designed to stop a leaking toilet from running. Sometimes the float does not reset correctly and the toilet tank will not fill up with water. In order to make this part of the system work there is a chain that goes from the float to the lever worked by the toilet handle. Maybe this became unattached? There is also a second chain to the flapper.
