You need to dig a trench around the exterior of your home. Water proof the outside of the masonry wall then backfill properly. Then you can cut back the mortar with a diamond blade grinder and fill with new mortar.

The local hardware store should carry foundation repair materials. Make sure to find the full breadth of the crack and use the filler/sealer on the entire crack.
