Default Trouble starting

I have a 2016 Z06 convertible. I stored it in a heated garage from Nov. 1st to March 1st. When I went to start it nothing happened no clicking of the starter it was if I never turned it on. So I went and bought an OEM DelcoI. now when I opened the door and the door bell started ringing, my headlights and my tail lights came on, but when i tried to crank it up again nothing, complete silence. Can anyone tell me whats going on and how to remedy this other than "take it to the dealer" I appreciate any help that I can get

New battery? Re-check the battery connections. A new battery and no start is usually a loose connection on the battery.

If you are solid and tight on the connections, check the 350 amp fuse on the top of the battery to make sure your didn't blow it during the battery swap.
