Question engine starting problem?

i have a 4.7 L Dakota quad cab and this past weekend i did my tune up i changed out the spark plugs which were champions plugs. (were on the truck when i bought it) i bought Bosch Platinum 2 spark plugs and installed them. The truck started fine and was running good. But today i went to turn on my truck and now it wont start all i hear is the clicking of the coils i believe and thats all. Would anyone happen have had this problem and fixed it cause i find it to be pretty odd.
