Hello everyone,
I got paid half the amount of the project. It says that the full price of the project is $20, but I only got paid $10. The client has ended the contract.
What should I do now?
I've tried contacting the client but they are not responding.

Upwork has a newer feature called "Project Catalog".
I don't know how clients could pay for only half the price on that, and your wording is ambiguous, so I am going to assume that you are referring to a fixed-price contract. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If you are referring to a fixed-price contract, then the only thing that counts is money in escrow.
If there was $10 in escrow, and you did the task, and the client released $10 to you, then this is over.
If $20 was the amount "promised," then that doesn't count.
If $20 was the "budget," then that does not count.
What should you do now?
Learn from your mistake and don't make the same mistake again in the future.
Don't continue trying to contact the client.
