i left my car's lights on all night one night. in the morning i turned my car on and it moved but refused to move at another place. i got a jump from somebody at the place and my car still wouldnt start. my car randomly started later in the day and is not refusing to start. ive gotten the impression that it may be the starter

Welcome to the forum, Make sure the battery has a full charge. Take it out and get it charged. Make sure the connections are good. It's not a good idea to try to charge battery with alternator. Also, check the charging system. You need to make sure about the battery before going after the starter.
