Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You have taken emergency contraceptive pill within 24 hours, it give protection against unwanted pregnancy after unprotected sex exposure.
You should understand it is not necessary to have withdrawal bleeding as it depend on when you have taken pill before or after ovulation incase it is after ovulation then it can delay your period for 1 week.Nausea abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness are common side effects.
If you do not get period please get a urine pregnancy test and consult a Gynecologist.She will examine you and advice about if test is positive then further management if it is negative then wait for few days or ultrasonography and blood Beta HcG may be required.
Please take care.
Good Luck.
