Hope you get things sorted.

 

Ben, odds are, you have a bad battery. PUt it on a charger and see if that helps any. Once you get the car started, drive it to an auto parts store and have them test the battery. If you can't get the car started, then you will need to pull the battery out and take it to the auto parts store. I'm placing money on a bad battery and I don't gamble. If they say that the battery is good, then you most likely have a bad battery cable. I can walk you through that, but you will need to know how to use a multimeter.
