It probably needs a new vibrate motor. You can find them on ebay, and they are inexpensive. While taking an iPhone apart isn't highly technical, the parts and screws are very tiny. You also need some special screw drivers (but again they can be had cheaply). If you're comfortable attempting this, I'm sure there are plenty of guides and video already available online (search "how to replace iphone 5s vibrate motor"). If not, you may be better finding a local repair store.
