One side of my breaker panel is hot and the other is dead. What could
be a possible cause of this?

Hi,
First, sounds like one leg of 220V coming in is dead.
If you have a meter check it out.

try reseting main breaker, ask neighbors one leg of 120 may be out from
things like transformer failure

Or your main breaker is bad, or a wire has come loose. Won't know until you
check to see where where you have voltage.

I'd agree with the others, that it sounds like you've 'lost a leg', but...

Do you reall mean "one side" as in "of the two rows of breakers, the one on
the left/right works and the other doesn't", or that every other breaker
doesn't work?

The latter would be a symptom of losing a leg. The former would be just
weird...
