Charge your battery fully, see what happens. Sometimes a battery can be so dead that it won't want to run.

I say have the battery tested to make sure it is good, as well. Parts stores do it for free. If the battery was good, a jump should have started the car (bad alternator or a drain somewhere preventing a charged battery). Bad battery and the car possibly won't start even with a jump. Of course, make sure the terminals and posts are clean and not corroded.
