Default 2005 Sxt won't restart

Hi all, new here. My daughter drove her 2005 Sxt to work. While she was sitting in my car, the engine just stopped running. It won't restart, but the brake fluid warning light comes on, (plenty of brake fluid in it), the check oil light comes on, again, same thing, and the check engine light is on. These lights stay on after the others go off. Can't get the check engine light codes because the car won't go.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Thānks

Won’t start or won’t turn over?

Won't turn over, not even clicking. All the lights come on and all, just nothing.

How old is the battery? Wouldn’t hurt to get it tested. Rule that out first. Also check all your battery terminals and connections. Fuses, etc.

Battery is new. How can I tell if a fuse is bad by looking? What am I looking for?

I'm going to try to jump start it though. It doesn't hurt to try.
