Yes that would be a good place to start. What do you mean when you say"it won't turn over?" Is the starter engaging, or is it like a dead battery and won't do anything?

I would try to put oil in the engine your car could have a oil safety where it wont start with low oil, I would look into why it would be bone dry on the dipstick first
