If you are bleeding the brakes and not getting any fluid then you wither have a restriction like a collapsed brake line, the piston is frozen in the caliper, or there is a master cylinder issue.

Here is a guide that will help with bleeding the brakes just in case you need it:

One way to check the master cylinder is to remove the line and then route the brake line on the driver side front of the master back to the reservoir and press the brakes and see if there is fluid coming out of it.

If you do, then the issue is in the line or the caliper.
