Welcome to MVS Cynthia !!

It sounds like you have had a loss of electrical power. Your battery could have shorted inside or, more likely, ypur battery cables have broken or come loose.

First step....try wiggling the connectors on the battery with your hand..the should not move. Try to follow the fat cables to the next point where they connect and do the same test.
