Hello. I am new to the site.. I have a 2007 grand
caravan and it was not running.. I changed the
spark wires and the car turned over.. I went to the
store and came back, waited a few minutes
because I was going to change the battery, and
now it is not turning over.. anyone have ideas?

If this happened before you did anything to the battery, I would try to tap on the starter gently and then if it turns over. If this happened after you changed the battery make sure the battery is not installed in reverse and check for loose cables. After that try the starter tapping, check for a bad chassis ground, bad clutch switch or ignition switch, dead starter motor, and so on.
