I went to use the lawn mower and it just died on me! At first it would start but only move an inch and died on me and now when I turn the ignition to on, it just sputter or click. Could it be the battery that's dead? Please help!

It does sound like the battery need recharging re- the clicking. But the engine dying and sputtering sounds like water in the gas, or a bad spark plug. Without more information it is hard to make a through diagnosis.

when you tried to start it the first time did it roll over slow or did it roll over like normal then start ? does the motor roll over by hand and freely? the battery could be at fault or the starter or even just a lose wire . As far as it starting it could have water it the gas ,bad spark plug

Yes u need a tune up and fresh gas. Old gas will make it pop and hard to start,

probably not battery, check gas and fuel filter and spark plug.
