Use an eval statement to find a percentage

index=proxy sourcetype=bar
| stats count by blockedAction
| addtotals fieldname=grandTotal
| eval percentBlocked = round((blockedAction/grandTotal)*100,1)

I'm trying to show the amount blocked as a percent of total traffic. BlockedAction is a field that was created.

The simplest way is to use the top command

index=proxy sourcetype=bar
| top 0 blockedAction

but you can do this other ways, such as 

index=proxy sourcetype=bar
| stats count by blockedAction
| eventstats sum(count) as grandTotal
| eval percentBlocked = round((count/grandTotal)*100,1)
| fields - grandTotal

Hope this helps

It would be helpful to know what results you get from that query, but I expect you get no results.  If you do get results then they're likely to be inaccurate because the blockedAction field is a label rather than a count.

Try this variation on your query.

index=proxy sourcetype=bar
| stats count as grandTotal, sum(eval(blockedAction="blocked")) as blockedCount
| eval percentBlocked = round((blockedCount/grandTotal)*100,1)
