This morning I walked out side and I had a flat tire. I tried to change it. But I cant get the lug nuts off. I was wondering if their is anything else I could try. I really would like to put the spare on so I can get a new tire.

Make sure you're not trying to loosen them while the car is jacked up. Try to find a length of pipe that you could use that'll fit over the end of the lugnut wrench you're using. This 'cheater bar' will improve the torque you can apply to those stubborn lugnuts.
You could try standing on the wrench, bouncing to try'n bust'em loose. Try some WD-40 or similar oil on the lug threads. Ask a brawny friend to help. Try using a can of 'fix-a-flat' to inflate it long enough to get to the tire store.
Good luck!

get a 3 foot piece of pipe you can slip over the lug wrench, it will give you more leverage and the lug nuts should come off with ease.

spray some wd40 on the lugs and then try to remove the tire

ask a neighbor or someone with more strength for help. call a friend apply some wd-40 or penetrating oil for 15 minutes and try again
