Try to start your mysql service:

sudo systemctl start mysql or sudo systemctl start mysqld

If it fails, try installing mysql-server:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

If it still fails then to do a complete reinstallation of mysql services:

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql\*
sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client
sudo systemctl start mysql
