If you are talking about the 18-55 kit lens, some of them had VR and some of them didn't. If you don't have a switch on the barrel of the lens, there is probably a setting in the camera menu to turn VR on if your lens has VR. It will probably be in the SETUP section of the menu. If your kit lens is one of the older ones, it may not have VR on it.

This is from the Errornet:

"New AF-P lens designation. AF-P is the designation used to distinguish these new lenses from Nikon's existing AF-S models. The full model name is 'AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G' and the only difference between the two new AF-P models is that the cheaper lens does not have Nikon's VR image stabilization system.Jan 5, 2016".

My AF-S lens has VR on it with a switch on the barrel. The AF-P lenses may or may not have VR on them.

This may be helpful.

Yes. If you have the VR turned on in the menu it should be working as designed. If it isn't, it may take a trip back to Nikon to fix it.

It just occurred to me, if you have never updated the firmware on your camera and your lens you may need to go to www.nikonusa.com. Click on your camera/lens model and see if there is a firmware update available that you haven't installed. That could fix your problem. Just follow the directions to install the firmware per the instructions and you shouldn't have any problems with it.
