    Did you receive a notice in the mail from the IRS requesting the copy of a W-2?  Then where and how to send the W-2 copy would be in the notice.

    No they have held my refund and when I finally got ahold of someone they said its because they didn't receive a copy of my w-2 but they wouldn't tell me what I needed to do.

    That means that the IRS did not receive a copy of the W-2 you entered on your tax return from the employer.  It is the employers responsibility to provide the IRS with the copy.  Unless and until you receive a notice in the mail from the IRS requesting that you send anything to them you can only wait.
