Wind is the result of two nearby regions having differing pressures. Air will flow from the area of higher pressure to the area of lower pressure. If the air is not moving (blowing) where you are standing, it is because there is no differential in pressure near you.

Localized changes in temperature are the biggest cause of pressure changes, and thus wind.

That's like asking where the candle flame goes when you blow it out. It simply ceases to exist. Wind is moving air; if the air is not moving, it is still air (pun intended), but it is not wind.

The wind is a movement of air. When air is not moving, there's no wind. Wind doesn't go anywhere; it just ceases to exist
