Try getting a friend with another car to hook up their jumper-cables and try and jump you, your battery just may need to be charged or jumped to get that extra spark in it.
However, it could be your Alternator/starter that converts the power of the battery to power for the car to turn over and start.
if the jump doesn't work, take your batter to an AutoZone or AdvanceAutoParts store where they can test it and charge it for free, and possibly help you in the diagnosis of the problem pending on the reactions you get of the car on the first tests!
Best of luck

If it's clicking, it's probably your solenoid. Follow the big red lead from the battery, it should lead to the solenoid. If you jumper the two big terminals, and your starter turns over, the solenoid is bad
