Sounds like the battery is just plain dead. Can happen.

Get a boost from a friend's car, if it starts properly, you need a new battery.

If it still don't start, check back here for Plan B....

How old is the car, battery etc.?
What kind of abuse has the battery had (lights left on, parkek up for 2 or 3 weeks with the alarm on etc).

If the battery is 'young' and not had any 'abuse' it might be worth getting the charging system checked when the batery is replaced.

Just a thought.
