Default Starter not clicking or turning at all

Truck has been cranking fine. It froze the other day so i went to crank it up that evening since i hadn't drove it in a full day. It engaged for just a moment like normal then nothing. Turn the key now and no sound or movement. Original starter so i went ahead and replaced it, swapped relay with another, checked small fuse also. Battery showing charged. When i went to take the power cable off of the starter it sparked. Unhooked the battery. New starter same thing.
