First of all
make a copy of your wallet.dat file, you can still access your funds! If you remember your password too can open that copy once you
manually download a new version (Do not delete the old wallet.dat!!) On Windows it's in your home folder in a the path AppData/Roaming/Electrum/wallets. On Mac and Linux the path is .electrum/wallets in your home folder.
You're using an old version of Electrum so first of all if it is a message that says something like "Your Electrum is vulnerable" or "Update your Electrum now"
DO NOT CLICK ON IT! It's a phishing attempt that will steal your money.
Now, download the real Electrum from
https://electrum.org/#downloadAfter that,
verify the Electrum download isn't tampered with using the guide
[GUIDE] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum [Guide].
Now open Electrum and it's going to ask you to open a wallet file or create a new one. At this point, open the wallet.dat copy.
