1. Recharge the battery
2. Take the lens off and clean the contacts on both camera and lens with a lint-free cloth
3. Pray

Had you set the camera to only focus with the back AF button? I've thought the same as you before now and that was the reason.

It will be in the settings. But what happens if you press the AF button on the back of the camera ?

Yes, if that focuses the camera the AF is working fine, it is just a setting. Worry about which setting later!
