Looks like you hacve a drained batttery.

Check the battery condition with a DVOM and if it has less than 12, 2 volts, the battery is dead.

If voltage is 12 volts or more, try cleaning the battery terminals. If a jump start works, check the alternator charging.

Hope you have not left anything turned on causing the battery to be drained overnight.
