Can not sign in

I was signed out of my account so I clicked on sign in. After I clicked sign in it asked if I wanted to sign in and I clicked yes. Then I waited a minute while it said connecting. Finally it said that it couldn't connect and there was a drowned error. I clicked the info button but it didn't work and just brought me to the Minecraft website with a picture of a creeper and said sssssorry. Then I texted my friend who also plays Minecraft and they said the same thing was happening to them.
