It sounds like the crankshaft position sensor went out. Do you have spark? Please go over this video to help us see what is going on:

If there is no spark here is the location of the sensor so you can swap it out, also check the timing belt while you are in there. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
