    Sounds like you have a dead battery or starter motor. Try to jumpstart the car from another battery or put another battery in. If she starts, problem was the battery. Could also be that your alternator isnt charging the battery, so you might just need a repair on that. Easiest way to check is using a multimeter or voltmeter, do you have one of those?

    So very likely that your starter motor is dead or alternator. If its starter motor you dont have much chance, if its alternator, swapping battery should get you through the day, not much else though.
