Have you tried jumping or charging the battery?

Get battery, alternator, and starter checked at autozone if you can get it there.

Did it run out of oil and lock up the engine?

When you make the starter click, do the lights all go real dim?
Lights do not dim?

Smack the starter while someone tries to crank it?

A $3 test light can save a lot of guessing if you know how to use it.
