Put new plugs in and now the car wont crank over. It has fire but wont start. Can u please tell me what might be the problem!

you need to check fuel pressure. spray some starting fluid in the air filter and see if it starts for a moment. if it does, there is a fuel delivery issue. if not, then there is spark control issue.
