What can I do if my employer stopped putting me on the schedule?

I have gone from working 20 hours a week, to zero. They have not let me know if I have done anything wrong and I also have open availability all week, so I really have no idea why this would happen. Is there any legal action I can take against this? This will definitely put a hold on all the bills coming up.

Unless you have guaranteed hours under the terms of an employment contract or union agreement, your company can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination). This is known as "at will" employment. Accordingly and unfortunately, you appear to have no claim here.
