If, by plug in you mean the socket, then you need to check the fuse in the power plug next.
At the very lease there should be some light on the unit that illuminate even if it does not FREEZE.
If the compressor comes on wait to see if there is any drop in temperature. then it is possible the fuse was faulty.

Check that the freezer has power. After that make sure the thermostat is turned down low. If it still isn't starting, listen for any clicks like its trying to start. If no clicks, replace the start capacitor or thermostat. If there's clicks like its trying to start, try a hard start kit for your freezer, or you might just need a new compressor

Hello Fred,

Typically only freezer that have a digital display for the tempature setting use a battery yours however does not use one

I have a similar freezer under the Kenmore brand and experienced the same problem. Try raising the temp setting to +10 degrees. Unit should then start up again.

The beeping and light indicates the need for a new battery (9v)

Check to see if there is a reset on the compressor or close to it. Turn your control knobs up and down and see if you hear a "click". You might cause it to engage at that point. Let me know how this does.

try a new start relay and overload kit specifically for the make and model freezer you are working on. if compressor can be seen ,the numbers on it can be used to get correct oem start cap, relay ,and overload. if your unit is having starting problems that will usually fix it. if however, the stat is failing to bring it on a new stat is called for. but it sounds like it is having starting problems since you said it was off a long while then still struggled on the overload to start then finally did. if the new start components don't work then new freezer time. compressor replacement is to expensive anymore. good luck

Where do you see the water coming from ?
