As it were, I own a silver Nintendo Gamecube, which has not been working as of late.
I have attempted to clean said Gamecube's laser, however, this has not produced results.
I believe that the Gamecube is not spinning the disk, as when I open the disk drive, the disk is not spinning. Is this possible to repair at home, or should I get it repaired elsewhere?

The motor that spins the disc either has juice/something sticky (no comment) in it or it has burned out. This occurs a lot in GameCubes and is not an uncommon problem. Either get a whole new drive or get the little tiny motor that spins the disc. You might be better off getting a broken GameCube off of Ebay.

Yeah, my friend had this problem too. He eventually had to buy a new Gamecube.

Well uh can't you send it in the be fixed by Nintendo? I haven't ever had any problems with my systems though so don't flame me if this isn't possible. XD

I believe if it's under warranty, yes; if not, you'd have to pay whatever the service/labor fee is.

Are you sure it's not just stopping because it can't read the disc? Turn it on and open it up after like half a second to one second, it should be spinning then. If not then yeah, your motor's toast.

Shame it's not so easy to trick a Gamecube into running with the lid open, then you could just watch it start.
