Most likely, it's not online.
Armory requires a full node like Bitcoin Core or similar to operate, use Bitcoin Core for max compatibility.

Do you have Bitcoin Core installed and fully synced without "prune blockchain" settings?
If not: install it, disable "prune block storage to" setting and sync the blockchain (requires 400GB+ disk space).

After that, setup armory's pathing correctly: https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing (https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing)

If you are a newbie I suggest use another wallet than Armory because Armory requires a bit of technical background about Bitcoin nodes.
If I were you if I can normally open the Armory app backup the wallet and switch to Electrum wallet and import it there.

Electrum is a lightweight wallet that doesn't need so much data to sync, unlike Armory wallet that requires Bitcoin core full node.

Also to confirm that you receive bitcoin to your address use block explorer to check your BTC address. Here's one of the block explorers below
