Hard to believe it’s frozen if you have cold water working.
First check your shut-offs, sometimes located directly under the sink.
Could also be a bad stem valve in the faucet which in most cases can be repaired.
Good luck

It could likely be the cartridge in your faucet. has this problem just occurd?
Most water fixtures have cartridges in them that can be easliy replaced. Go to casa depot with you faucet brand name and model and ask the peeps to show you the replacment catridges. Hope this helps

could be a bad faucet stem or shut off valve. i really doubt its frozen if the cold works and hot does not. the cold almost always freezes first.

cold works but hot does not…Hmmmm
strange but maybe hot is in exterior wall and cold is not. if all else fails try turning loud music with alot of bass on for a few minutes directed at the wall where pipes exist.
believe it or not this actually worked for me on accident after many agonizing hours of trying to defrost the pipe using heaters.

believe it or not, your hot water pipes will freeze before your cold will. Actually, if a your sink sits for a period of time with no use, the water in the pipes eventually becomes the same temperature, when you think about it. What I’d try first is opening the cabinet doors under your sink and putting a fan blowing in- to warm up the pipes. I don’t know what kind of house you have, or where your located in-but I live in northern mn, so I’ve got a lot of experience with frozen water pipes. They tend to freeze at an elbow, or at a place where they go under your cabinets. Don’t try to warm them up too quickly, as this could cause damage to the pipes. Just warm air will usually do the trick. If you’re worried about them freezing in the future, let the faucet trickle when it’s going to be extremely cold out, and leave the cupboard doors open slightly(if that’s possible-depends on if you have small children or pets)
hope this helps!
