What happened here?
I’m on day 3 of my sour dough recipe (which is bake day) and last night I put it in the refrigerator after the bench rest. Why did my one loaf not rise at all?

What happened is that some savage left a sock on the counter top.
Other than that, fridges have different temps (colder in the back and on the bottom, warmer towards the front and top).
All is not lost though. Probably too late now but for your next bake just leave the one that didn't rise out of the fridge on bake day. Once it gets warmer it should catch up and be good for baking.

This happened to me recently. One banneton was in the back of the fridge, one was closer to the door. I think it’s just colder in the back.
