If the lights do not work, and the battery is actually fully charged, then the problem is most likely a loose or corroded battery terminal. It could also be a bad connection to ground.

the battery MAY have been good, but could have been drained overnight by the alternator if the alternator has gone bad. Have a friend give you a jump to see if you can get it at least to turn over. If you can, chances are your alternator is shot, then you will have to replace it.
Good luck

check the connection from the battery. hopefully it is not the entire engine.
