No, there is no compensation due.

Do an award search on the United site for the day that you want. See if any options come up. Ignore the number of miles. If they do, ask for those flights. If UA has service to "C," you can ask to be put on UA's flight, even if there's no award space.

Sadly, this sometimes does happen. Provided that you had a valid ticket (did you ever get an email with a ticket number?) UA is on the hook to get you where you need to go or to give you a refund.
