You can try to put a new chain on and see what happens, but if the old chain's been there long enough a new chain will just skip under pressure. So be careful when coming out of the saddle for the first time with a new chain.

If the new chain skips, then it's time for a new cassette, your chainring you can probably just flip around (as long as it's not ramped/pinned for shifting)
I let a chain go to far; now the chain nearly slips, grinds constantly, but almost never slips.

Any advise on replacement?

Where?
Cost?
