All strings play but not the first one ? You buy it used or new ?
New ; return on waranty at the store you bough

Used ; replace the 1st string , you can buy only one , but if guitar is used , a new set of string will help.
1st string might be too rusty .

Unless the magnet were totally dead, it is impossible for one string in a pickup to generate no sound while the other five do. Take a small, metal screwdriver and with the guitar plugged into the amp and the volume turned up just enough to hear things, tap each pickup pole piece gently with the screwdriver. I'll bet you hear the tapping through each pole piece. Can a string be so rusty or dead that it generates no sound? I doubt that also, but that would be the first thing I would change. Change all six like stratele52 suggests.
