Call sony tech support.

Basically plug in the usb cable to your system and controller and then press the PS button until it syncs. Unplug and your good. If it stops working when you unplug, you've got a problem. Most likely the sensor could be broken on your system or controller but i'm not a tech so i can't garauntee this. So to reiterate, call sony tech support.
