when you put the bobbin in the carrier make sure you have about 6" of thread out next adjust the needle thread tension right up

It is skipping stitches. Use a brand new needle that is a suitable type for the fabric and thread you are sewing. If sewing knit, use a ball-point needle. If sewing woven fabrics, use a sharp needle (ie universal, Use good quality sewing thread--no old or bargain bin variety. Be sure to install the needle facing the correct direction. On most machines, the flat side of the needle faces the back of the machine, however, if the bobbin loads on the left side (not from the front), the flat side should face the throat of the machine. There could also be a burr somewhere that is catching the thread and causing the skipped stitch.

Check the wall plug with another thing like a light.

If it is an older mechanical machine, you are probably correct. It has probably seized due to lack of regular oiling and cleaning. Wheel on right side that controls the needle up and down is very tight...

Open the light cover put some sewing machine oil on the long round thingee, just above the black square let this set for awhile then use a chop stick or pencil/pen and push down [gently!!] on the square while pushing the lifter down if this doesn't help, put a drop or 2 more of oil and let it set awhile longer or use WD-40 to break it loose and then clean the long round thingee and put sewing machine oil on it

If you raise the presser foot, set the stitch length to a 3 or higher, then slowly press the foot control, can you see the feed dogs rise, move backward, then drop and come forward again? If they are not moving, the feed dogs have seized. If they are moving but do not rise above the needle plate, then you have them disengaged. If they are seized, resist the temptation to run the machine anymore until you can get it serviced. It could damage the motor causing more repair cost. If they are disengaged (dropped), then you need to find the control lever or dial that engages them.

It's an old metal mechanical machine, right? It is probably seizing due to old oil that has dried. Here's my method for "unfreezing" old sewing machines. (You won't believe how good it sounds and how nicely it runs after you've give it some TLC!) Wheel on right side that controls the needle up and down is very tight...

it is called bird nesting and is the result of the needle thread tension being too low recheck that the thread is between the tension plates and not behind them or disregard the settings and set ti manually as if you are going to thread the needle , pull the thread and there should be a reasonable amount of effort needed to pull the thread If there is not resistance to the pull then the tensioner is not applying the necessary tension
