First, remove the switch from the ceiling fan and remove the pull chain. Then, turn on the ceiling fan. Test the chain by moving it up and down. Do not force the pull chain if it does not turn on right away. The chain is fairly fragile and can snap if you apply too much pressure. Luckily, ceiling fan pull chains are relatively simple to replace. Whether the problem is with the switch or the faulty pull chain, the good news is that it can be replaced easily.

If you notice that the pull chain is stuck after moving the switch, the problem is more likely a broken end of the chain. This can be easily repaired by buying an extension chain or a new fan. The last solution is to replace the entire fan if the pull chain is stuck at the end. Otherwise, you can simply purchase a new pull chain switch to replace the old one. The good news is that replacement ceiling fan switches are fairly inexpensive.
