the first answer might be right, but it doesn't tell the whole story.
modern freezers are "frost free", which doesn't mean that they don't have frost, but that they "self-defrost".
they defrost by periodically (usually twice/day) warming up, letting the frost melt to water, and then cooling off again.
the melted frost runs down a little tube, usually at the back of the freezer, into a pan with a heating element, like in an electric kettle. this heats the water into vapour, so the pan doesnt overflow.
for your fridge, you probably have one of three thing gone wrong.

-the little drip tube that lets the melted frost go to the drip pan is frozen solid and not melting during the defrost cycle. the frost is melting in the freezer and then dripping down into the fridge (assuming you have a top mount freezer) instead of the drip pan.

to fix this, pack your food into a cooler for a day, unplug the fridge, leave the doors wide open and let the tube defrost.

-or the little tube is some how disconnected or broken or the pan is tipped at an angle or rusted through or somehow leaking.

to fix this, call the repair man, or try to fix it.

-or the heating element in the drip pan is diconnected, or burnt out. to fix this, call the repair man, or fix it yourself.
