The foot pedal will move the outer hand wheel but not the inner one and the take-up lever and needle (and the feed ) won't move unless i manually turn the inner hand wheel.
Ok, I am assuming that you have an old style machine where the hand hand wheel has the larger balance wheel on the outside and inner knob to release the drive to the needle and feed dogs. If that has been removed and not put back together properly it won't work.
There is a special locking washer inside those that have "fingers" pointing to the inside of the circle. They must be fit into the shaft correctly before the knob is returned into place and the little screw is tightened down.
This guy is a bit of a windbag but watch his video... you'll at least see the part I'm talking about. He shows the part at about 9:50 in the video.

I have already tried both of those suggestions. But thank you for trying a quick solution.
I do have the manual, it doesn't say how to fix anything other than the tension and where to oil....
i would like to thank tally girl and jimmey176 for trying to help. If anyone else has some ideas, please let me know. THanks.
