Check the flint. Either it is missing & you're trying to strike the metal spring or the spring it too tight.

Take the outer casing off. Find the screw on the bottom of the lighter. Unscrew & remove the spring. Tap the top of the lighter while turning the wheel. If it turns then check to see if a flint falls out of the hole. If nothing comes out, then go by some flints. Then replace the spring & screw making sure that u do not make it super tight.
