If the amp gauge moves, the switch is fine.  Either the window is stuck, the motor is stuck, or the regulator gear has shredded or has a disintegrated bushing.

When you move the switch, can you hear the motor running, or do you just hear a click from the door?  If you just hear a click, the window or the motor is stuck.  If you can hear the motor running but the window doesn't move, either the plastic regulator gear has broken, or the plastic bushing that presses the gear against the regulator has shredded.

Be prepared to
 remove the door panel.

Good luck!
