It's a stalemate. Not a win but not a lose. The rule is you CANNOT move a king into check. Black has no valid moves but white has failed to checkmate black. Checkmate means you can directly take the king and white cannot take the king in this situation. The only way to win is by checkmate. Black has been able to avoid checkmate and therefore has not lost but black can no longer move or checkmate white and thus has not won either. It is therefore a draw.
