did it crank or just dont doesnt do anything? maybe ur battery connection is not making good contact? maybe ur alarm is mess up and not closing the circuit in the kill switch relay? maybe ur fuel pump stop responding? maybe u pop a fuse? but a good chance ... maybe ur igntion in the spark plug distributor cap gone bad? check all that

probably the fuel pump, with a fuel pump gone, the engine will turn over, and over, and over... but it wont start.

I think he's saying it won't crank. Jump the starter by taking the little wire off the starter then hooking a jumper from the little terminal on the starter to the big one that goes to the battery. The engine should crank. If it doesn't, it's the starter, battery, or something in between. Could've gotten a bum starter.

Are the battery connections clean and tight?

if nothing, try and push start it! (if its a 5spd) put it in 2nd gear, push in the clutch, get the car rolling pretty fast (walking pace), and then jump the clutch then push it back in quick. the car should start, only use this when u have to. If she don't start, u might have a bigger problem then u think, and should get it checked out by a professional
