If it won't turn over, the first place I'd check is the battery. How old is
it? I think I got 8 years out of mine, but it was false economy, it died at
a most inconvenient time.

If you belong to an auto club, likely they will come over and test it for
you.

For the engine to start, it requires three things: 1) Fuel/air mixture, 2)
compression, and 3) spark/ignition. Please report on which is lacking and
you will get better advice. Based on your description, it sounds like you
have exhausted the battery trying to start it, so you will need to charge it
or change it before trying any more. Good luck!
