Answer
Taylor,

You can normally tell a Guinea Pig is sick by, if the aren't eating and drinking, they are not acting normal, their eyes aren't bright and clear.

Your going to have to take your Guinea Pig to the vet, as it could have a rash from an allergic reaction to something, it could be mites or something like that. So a vet is needed to check it out. As for the not eating a vet is still needed as it could be URI (Upper Respiratory Infection) or Pneumonia or something serious like that so a vet will be needed to treat it with the right medications.

I hope this helps,
   Take care,
