Is it a bucket fermenter? They are notorious for not sealing completely. The CO2 might be leaking past the seal, instead of through the airlock. Take a peak inside, if it is a bucket fermenter and see if you had or have a krausen.

I think its normal for all of us newbies to panic. My brew buddies call me Panic Boy. haha I brewed an Oktoberfest on Tuesday and it is just now starting to bubble. It had formed a krausen so I knew it would just be a matter of being patient. Mine is fermenting at 50* so its a little slower going anyway from what I am told.
