So I plugged my charger into my MacBook to charge, it was at 6%. I've had it in for about 20 minutes and it hadn't changed, so I checked and it now says, 'battery not charging.' I've found if I unplug the charger and connect it again, it starts charging, but I'm just wondering why it might be doing this and how to stop it not charging.
Thanks in advance :)

Try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). The following Apple KB article will show you how. Link

If that doesn't resolve the battery recharging problem, it may be a hardware defect or a bad battery. Since your machine is still under warranty, make an appointment with your local Apple store to have them look at it.

Regards.
