You can't castle if there is a threat on any squares your king has to move through.

Or if you have already moved your King during the game

...or the rook of that side.

Sometimes Chess.com randomly decides that some users are not allowed to castle.  That could be happening to you.

stars can castle kingside. crowns can castle queenside. diamonds can do both.

turds (non-subs) get the "von bardeleben" treatment ;)

What AnthonyCG said. You gotta warm your rook up before you grab it so roughly.

Click on your king then move it to where it would be in a castled position.

 

Castling is a king move.
