Your wiper motor linkage probably popped off/broke. You have to undo all the clips from your windshield cowl to get to the motor. From there, you'll see a linkage arm that connects the 2 wiper arms... it'll probably be hanging off of 1 wiper arm or completely off of both.

Even if you think you can get it back on, it's probably best to go out and order a new one because the eye joints are plastic and are going to be worn out. If you get it on there, it's only a matter of time before it comes loose again... usually at the worst possible time.

The arm is like $25 from Acura, when you buy it, it comes pre-greased and ready to pop on for an easy install.

vincetec is right about linkage. I had this problem your problem last week. If you can move the wipers by hand easily, that means it is probably your linkage. I had the white plastic eye joints worn out. Vincetec even gave you the price from acura, but I needed my wipers to work right away, so I got an assembly from a junk yard on saturday afternoon. It cost me 40 for the assembly without the motor. If you want the motor, I know some shop that will sell it cheap because I took the assembly. =)
