Please, if you have a problem post the exact error symptoms.

We can't tell by magic where you are stuck. Please state observed
and expected behaviour.

(already mentioned: please don't use input)

This is a one-time assignment.

"We" won't reach this point since the while condition never becomes
False. See above; "sum" is assigned just one time and will not
change in your while loop. Having the program work as probably
expected requires a "sum += number" inside the while loop.
BTW, what's "total" expected to do? It's also assigned only one
time.
