"car wouldnt go" is very vague.

the immobilizer is a part of the vehicles computer system and normally if it cant locate the key you will get a message on the dash but the system can lose its key programming in rare cases.
a defective car battery can cause all sorts of issues so get that tested while it is with the mechanic.

it is probably the fuel circuit/pump but your mechanic will be able to work out what the issue is.

a fuel pump circuit is a board term for anything within the fuel pump electrical system.
it could be a simple fuse or the fuel pump and you wont know until they look at it.

some of the vfs had some issues with wiring for the fuel pump that was causing resistance on the wiring which would blow fuses or effect the fuel pump operation/performance.
i am not sure how wide spread it is but it can happen as referenced in this thread

My mechanic rang me back fuel pump a big job got to pull out fuel tank . Why are Holdens so much trouble I had a Hyundai for 17 years it ran on a sniff of an oil rag this car seems like I go a few months than something else. I bought brand new only done a little over 60,000 klms. I was just commenting to my husband that the car is driving well and then this morning I drove it out for to where I was going then got back in car and it was cranking a sound like yours I think I might of flooded the engine. Called NRMA and now like yours a tow so fed up with things going wrong with the car. First fuel injectors replaced 8 and now this . Not happy.
