Be patient don’t fool with it
Make sure it’s in a warm area and getting light

Why are you able to see root?

It cracked open and has not grown a root in a week. They don't sit stagnent in that state and then suddenly take off.
R.I.P. It's dead. It may have been still born and not your fault.
Try again. Do some reading on germinating seeds.

Do you have any suggestions on what i could do, im having a mini crisis
It does sound like kushash may be right and it died. You can plant it and give it several days to check, no harm in that. I highly recommend just planting your next seed into the medium directly. That way there is way less chance of it getting damaged.

And that will work just straight from packet to coco? Do i need to give it a day in water or just plant it? Only because ive just put a critical in soak about 6 hours ago, should i give it over night or just plant it now, thanks for the advice so far

You’re new but going with coco? Super bad idea. I mean really bad idea.
Yes. As long as you properly hydrate the coco, you can just open the packet of seeds and put one in, about a knuckle deep. Coco can be harder to learn with than soil, but I honesty find starting seedlings in it to be easy because it's a little harder to overwater.

Ditch the soaking and the paper towels.

Growing and stopping sounds like you kept it too wet
It drowned or at best would be a slow growing runt
