check the battery and charging system....sounds the the battery bit the big one w/o more info.

its possible that the solenoid is bad on the starter... if you can get under the car try hitting the starter with a blunt object... i.e. a hammer or something similar.. but first i would make sure that the security light isnt flashing because that will require a tow to a reputable repair facility...

If the security light was flashing it would crank and the passkey 2 security system could be reset in the parking lot
