Sounds like the battery is not holding the charge anymore -- which is a common problem with laptop batteries after a year or so of use.
It will get worse. The battery on my laptop only lasts 10 minutes (lol). Not much we can do except to get a new replacement battery.

Depending on the age of the laptop the battery could be dead. Usually laptop batteries only last a few years. Mine is 5 years old and only lasts 30 min now with full charge. As for it not charging while on....could be battery or a setting in your power schemes. Look at power schemes by right clicking on desktop > properties > power. Hope this helps.
