Well, in general you could set a flag like InPause = 0, and while it is 0 your game would execute all the AI, Player Movement etc... But when you set it to 1 it would just freeze everything and render the pause screen and handle that one. e.g.

How could that go any more in-depth? You just need to add a way to freeze the screen and make a pause menu appear. For example the way I told above, you just stop doing the game actions when in pause mode, and handle the menu, and vice versa! That's pretty much all there is to it.

Not really, since I have no idea what on earth you've done to get it to work. Showing some code however might help us figure out what went wrong.
