When I plug the USB cable in to charge it, nothing happens. The single flashing light keeps flashing indicating its low on charge, but with everything connected it doesnt charge. I've tried 3 different consoles and 3 different USB cables, and with all of them it doesnt work, even though other controllers will. It's like it doesnt recognize I've put the cable in. So basically it means in about half an hour its going to have no battery left, and I won't be able to charge it, and there will be no way for me to use it again.

Are you sure that it's the low battery flash? The charging flash is almost the same but slower. If you connect while the PS3 is on, they will flash slowly and if you press PS it should show you a meter filling up.

If that's not the case and it really isn't charging. Hold the reset pin on the rear for 20 seconds and try connecting Via USB again.

And yeah I tried resetting it but it it didnt do anything :/

Sounds like the controller is broken internally. If you have had it for under a year, you may be able to get it replaced for free by Customer Support. Otherwise you'd be as well buying a new one.
