Have a look at the Grafana log, often it is /var/log/grafana/grafana.log.

That suggests that possibly your mysql server is not running.
any resolution. Since i am also facing the similar issue
remove grafana and make sure the grafana directory is also deleted, because it does go not by its own > then reinstall grafana , reconfigure grafana.conf server as before when it worked .
Also stop firewall completely or create an rule for port 3000 .
