No I didn't use. It's expired and I was unable to enter US

You’ll need to contact your local consulate. Some are more willing to do this than others, and the time it takes is consulate-dependent. You’ll need to pay the fee again and do the medical again (which will have expired by now), and depending how long ago you got the visa may need to submit another DS260 application and/or get a new police certificate too. Best you confirm with the consulate before doing all that if they will reissue and what they need to do so.

(All this assuming the immigrant visa is not a DV visa as those will not be able to be reissued past fiscal year end).

Also just to use the right terminology, it is not renewed, it is re-issued.
