First things first, don't panic :) We will try to help.
Is your pleo a Ugobe or a pleo RB?
If it is a Ugobe then it is possible and quite likely to be a battery problem not a pleo problem. So we need to know as much info as you can tell us to work out just what is going on.
What type of battery are you using in him? Is it the original green battery or an egg battery? The original green ones are all getting a bit old with many of them dying. It is possible sometimes to bring them back to life a bit but it does depend on how old it is and how dead it is. Have you been using your pleo regularly or has he been idle for a while?

My pleo is a Ugobe pleo and yes i am using the green battery but i measerd the battrery and it says it is 7,7volt.

Oh dear, please don't try using any downgrade/upgrades with a dead battery.
Is there a start up sound, any movement at all or just nothing? It does sound very much like a battery problem, how long is your battery charging for before it turns green?

In the first time after charching my battery pleo wen't in sleeping mode and i tryed to wake him up
he moved his head and started to make noise and after that he didin't do anything.

It is a battery problem.
When you charge it make sure you have a solid red light, flashing means it isn't seated properly. Make sure it charges for at least three hours even if you have to take it off the charger and put it back on.
If it still doesn't work you need to buy a new one.

i will try to charge my battery for a few times and if it does not work i will wait for a friend of my he orderd a new pleo

As IMR says it sounds very much like a dead battery. If nursing the battery few a few charges doesn't improve it your best option would be to buy a new battery. I would recommend the egg batteries as they give a lot longer play time - 2 hours or more and don't have any issues of dying like the green ones do. You can get and egg charger and battery from the stores here on the forum for a reasonable price.
