First check a block explorer like blockchain.info to see if the transaction was even broadcast. If it was not, then look into resetting your wallet.

If you see the tx on a public block explorer, then you probably underpaid fees - [See this answer](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/9046/why-is-my-transaction-not-getting-confirmed-and-what-can-i-do-about-it). Here are some options:

* If BTC was *sent* from Electrum (or another wallet that supports RBF), then add a larger fee.
* If you own the *destination* wallet, you can try using Child-Pays-For-Parent -- just send the unconfirmed amount to yourself with a very high fee.
* If neither of the above are true and you didn't use Bitcoin Core, you may have to just wait or find some other way to double spend your tx...
