If it won't turn over, the battery is dead.

^^ This, plus if the battery is defective, dead, bad cell, etc, putting it on a charger won't help.

If you are getting spark, and fuel, the likely problem is either too much, or not enough, of spark, or fuel. Are you getting a nice fat spark that snaps when you crank the motor? Are the plugs wet? Any codes?
