Not knowing the car and/or battery age, it is likely the battery, but it would be worthwhile to have the charging system checked as well.

C7 Stingray starting problems
I get a clicking noise and the check engine light comes on. I have never had this before. Currently at 40k miles. Is the battery just fried? Its only been sitting for maybe 8-10 days.

You don’t mention what by year and how old is the battery. Have the battery checked and go from there.
