Do you have a test kit? Have you been changing water? How many fish and what species?

You will need to get yourself a test kit unless you can get your LFS to test your water pretty much everyday,
Water changes are the only way to remove ammonia, do a fe 25% water changes over the next few days and then get the water tested again,
ammonia is very poisonous to fish
