The symptoms sound like a discharged battery. Try charging the battery and see if that helps, if it doesn't, have the battery checked out/load tested to determine its condition. There could be a new battery in your future.

Also check the battery terminals to be sure they are clean and tight when you reconnect them. Check the opposite ends of the battery cables located on the starter and block to be sure they are clean and tight.
