Sounds like =
1. your battery cable(s) are not making good connection
2. Your battery cable(s) are shot
3. Your battery is toast

Batteries on these cars die immediately, not much if any warning

Remember to check both ends of the cables, not just the battery end.

As there's a click, there is power.

+1 on load test of battery

After that, if it's OK then dive in with a meter.

A couple months ago I left lights on and ran down the battery. I had to use the key to open the door (not enough power to the door lock for the key fob to work), and when trying to start it or jump it, I just got clicking.
Took a few minutes to notice the blinking red light to the left of the steering wheel near light switch - and realized the alarm was still "on." Closed all doors, set and disarmed the alarm, and it started right up.
