Make sure batt terminals are tight . , try a jump start or have batt tested . If headlights are nice and bright then your starter may have quit . There may be a relay see if power is getting to the starter solenoid when you hit the key . Don't ground out the starter cable from the pos. terminal

Contact AAA or get a jump start, I suspect your battery voltage is too low to start it. Time for a new battery.
