my old washing machine

My washing machine comes on, the water runs, it fills with water, agitates, Doesnt spin or drain.
I was told, the problem could be the lid switch or the water pump.
Which do you think is the problem, or does anyone have another suggestion?
I would also like some good safe tips on how to self repair my washing machine
