you can try resetting it (everything will be safe), by " Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center." (apple.com)
If that doesn't work you can always take it to an apple store.

Go onot google and input 'ipod nano troubleshooting'. It will come up with apples website for troubleshooting. There are 5 different steps you can go through to reset your IPOD. Some of them wipe all your songs though, so make sure you have a back-up somewhere.
This happened to my daughters and I restarted it and it now works fine.
Hope it helps.

oh my god.. i got the exact same problem with my nano! I got superr scared but you dont haveto worry a bit... the iPod has an amazing support system.. heres what you have to do.. You need to Restore your iPod. Restoring your ipos means youll have to erase all the songs in your ipod and bring it back to its original factory settings.. but dont worry coz you'll still have all your songs on your iTunes. Restoring your iPod fixes most of the problems that you could be having with your iPod. Click on this link to get the instructions about how to restore your iPod:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
or else read the instructins in how to restore here:
How to restore iPod
1. Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
2. Download and install iTunes 7.0 or later if you do not already have it installed.
3. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
4. After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source pane in iTunes.
5. Select your iPod in the Source pane and you will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
6. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
7.
* Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
* Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
* Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
* Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
8. If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
9. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
10.
* Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
* Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
11. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
12. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
After Restoring your iPod you can update your iPod with all your songs in iTunes like you normally do. Restoring my iPod fixed the problem on my iPod and im sure it'll fix yours too. To avoid problems in the future make sure you eject your iPod before disconnecting it from your computer. If you have problems in the future go to the apple website and click on support. They have the solutions to all the problems you could think of.
All the Best!

Do troubleshooting (on Apple.com) or if it's within the warranty time, tell Apple what's wrong.
