If you can't log into Fallout 76 or connect to a server, there's a good chance they are not online. That being said, you can check the server status for Fallout 76, by visiting the official Twitter for the game or by checking the official status site for all Bethesda.net Live Service titles.
At the official Fallout 76 account, you will see a tweet from the developers if the servers are down for the game; the same goes for the status site. If the servers are down, it will display information indicating it, such as a red triangle.
So, If you find out the servers are indeed down due to maintenance, the best thing to do is simply wait until they come back online.
The same goes if there are other people experiencing issues not related to maintenance. If other people are experiencing problems, this could mean that the servers are down, so you will have to wait for the developers to find and fix them.
