I tried doing, \mathbf{\Rightarrow}, but nothing happens.
How do I make the \Rightarrow symbol bold?

Here is a way with which you can make any symbol fat: use the contour package.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[outline]{contour}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Just the symbol:
\contour{black}{$\Rightarrow$}
\item The symbol between two bold symbols:
$\boldsymbol{A}\mathrel{\contour{black}{${\Rightarrow}$}}\boldsymbol{B}$
\item Using \texttt{contour} for everything:
\contour{black}{$A\Rightarrow B$}
\item \verb|\contourlength{0.02em}|:
\bgroup\contourlength{0.02em}\contour{black}{$A\Rightarrow B$}\egroup
\item \verb|\contourlength{0.01em}|:
\bgroup\contourlength{0.01em}\contour{black}{$A\Rightarrow B$}\egroup
\item Other symbols:
\contour{black}{$A\Leftarrow B=C\ne D$}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
As a last resort, over-printing (or under-printing) as a method to simulate boldness (or fake bold) is an option using the contour package. It may come in handy when there is no bold version of a font/symbol available:
The default interface is \contour[<number>]{<color>}{<stuff>} that prints <number> copies of <stuff>under<stuff> using colour <color>. The default is 16 repetitions if none are specified, while the starred-version \contour* prints 32. \contourlength{<len>} sets the radius of the under-printing. The two column above are default (0.03em) and 0.01em.
To make the under-printing more obvious/clear, here's a close-up view of the above contours at the default setting:
