No trouble codes will make it not crank over, it sounds like the starter has gone out. So, to confirm this let's see if you have power to the starter solenoid trigger wire when the key is in the crank position. This guide will help:

Also, try to crank it over in neutral. Please go over this guide and get back to us.
