It is not uncommon for a MicroSD card to fail unexpectedly. It could have been something as simple as static discharge. Remove it from the phone and try to read it using a card reader. If it shows that it is formatted but the files are not there, you might be able to get some of them back using a utility like Recuva.

If it is not recognizable, you may want to try a few different computers if you have access to them ... better if they are running different OS's like OS X or Linux. IF all else fails, try formatting. A truly dead card won't respond to anything you attempt and at that point, you'll have to replace it.
