If your furnace blower is not moving air, it can just be the capacitor. This is a common problem with blowers. Turn your thermostat to fan to ON. If the blower is humming, give the blower a start by hand. If it starts up, you need to replace the capacitor. Use a screwdriver with an insulated handle to discharge the capacitor. The blade should be metal to discharge the capacitor. Replace the capacitor with one that matches the specifications. It may be a different size.
