Replaced the battery last week and while idoling today the whole thing just
died out.   Cannot get key out now and nothing works still. The sunroof is

New battery is not getting recharged by alternator. Things will run right when they again get some electricity. So have the alternator tested and possibly replaced. Recharge the battery with a charger, start it and drive to an auto parts store for alternator testing. It will run until battery runs out of power.
