Mojang is currently doing some maintenance on their authentication servers.
Basically, their authentication servers hold your username, your skin, and your "id" which allows you to log onto server.
Because it has been taken down temporarily, you cannot log onto servers.
Think of it like this. When you join a server, your client sends info to the authentication servers, which respond back and send info to the server so it knows what your skin looks like and what your username is.
Relax and be patient. Mojang should have everything fixed soon.
Please walk me through how to fix this

Hello. I am a noob. Help please? Thanks.
ok is the same happening for you?
ok
Ive had this for over and hour this morning everything was ok but now it is all mantience or whatever
And this is why I don't buy games that force you to connect to a remote server to play. Pirated version still works great!
The authentications servers have been down since 11:00. Mojang still hasn't fixed sadly.
