Absolutely not! The client told you that they no longer want it.
Close the contract, the client gets their money back.

Alexis,
If an Upwork client stops communicating with you it could be for a variety of reasons, which, in today's online world, some feel they don't need to discuss with you.
You may not have done anything "wrong." But that doesn't matter now.
Thank the client for considering you as the freelancer on his project and wish him well.
Then give him no more thought. Move on to clients who ARE going to pay you.
It is certainly not fair that such a zero dollar contract could adversely affect your Job Success Score, but that's just one of the things that make life unnecessarily unpleasant for hard-working freelancers.

It won't unless the client leaves poor private feedback.
Furthermore all freelancers can exclude one project catalogue contract a month from their JSS calculation.

Yes, Petra, I know.
That's why I used the word "could." This means it is a possibility, not a certainty.
Now, if I had said "will" that would mean there was certainty. A very different thing, as you may know.
