Chris, I realize it must suk to be without the only yoyo you have, so here is what you have to do to get it fixed.
 The first suggestion is probably the easiest, take the yoyo, with the missing nut, it still has the bolt/axle right? So take the yoyo top your local hardware store and find the most helpful person there, if you are young take your Dad or Mom with you., after finding someone to help show them the bolt/axle, and tell them you need to find a nut to fit it, it is standard hardware, they will have a matching nut, but it might be in a package, and you might have to buy a couple of paks, they are pretty cheap under 2.00 usually, if the person at the hardware store is really nice they might let you try it right there to make sure you have the right one.
 Or you could email YoYoFactory and ask them the size of the axle/bolt, and then when you go to the hardware store just ask for  the specific size of nut and you are golden.
 Good luck.
 EDIT: as stated by YoSpirit, thanks to him, the nut/bolt used in the One(and I assume the WHip) is a M4 size, so you just need to go to the hardware store and tell them you need a package of M4 , nylon locking(nyloc) nuts, and you will have the nut for you One.
Have fun.

Are you missing the bearing or bolt?  I find it hard to believe you could lose the bolt while it's tightly screwed together.  The bearing is a size C, or .250x.500x.187 when buying at a hobby shop.  The bolt is a Nylon Insert Lock Nut, M4-.70 size.
