We've had my son's computer for 6 years. The wifi has worked fine. He was chatting with someone last night and it just dropped. Then he went to turn the wifi back on and it won't turn on. When he clicks it nothing happens. He has rebooted the computer, we've rebooted the router, and he has taken the wifi service off of the computer and put it back on. Still nothing when he clicks to turn the wifi on.

Sometimes changes are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for WiFi) become manipulated, technically. So, reset both on your Mac.

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
Please use the information in the How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity link.
This seems to be about wifi connectivity and dropped connections. He can't even turn the wifi on to connect to anything.
