The car could have shut off because of low oil. Or you have catastrophic engine failure. If you turn the key and the motor turns or starts that is a good sign. If it starts turn it off immediately. If it doesn’t turn well i am sorry but you need some major engine repair or even a new engine if you have a hole in the block ( bottom part of motor)
