Had my new macbook for only 2 weeks and the caps lock is not working. I hate to have to make a special trip to the Apple store if it something simple.
Any help greatly appreciated. TIA :>)

Call Apple's help line. It sounds like a possible hardware issue that you may need to get fixed. Good luck!

It looks like the new MacBook Pros have a feature that requires you to hold down the caps lock key in order to activate it because a lot of people had been accidentally hitting the key in the past and turning on the feature when they didn't mean to. Try holding it down for a few moments and see if that fixes it.

If that doesn't work, try calling Apple and see what they advise. If it's a known issue with an easy fix, they'll be able to tell you how to do it, and if it's something that requires a trip, they'll be able to tell you that too.
