I haven't change any thing and able to connect through it yesterday. Can some please help and tell me what to do and what are the possibilities that why I am not able to connect.

Try to check three things.

1. If you are using a local host name check that, the same bindning is set on your site and that the same host name row exists in your hosts file (usually in C:\\Windows\\System32\\Drivers\\etc\\hosts) like this example:

    127.0.0.1 localsite.dev 

2. Check that the sites root is pointing to the correct directory on your local machine.
3. If you have access to a local development tool, like Visual studio, try to compile and see if build errors exists.
