It's hard to tell exactly what has happened, but make sure the crank shaft is turning when the key is in the start position, make sure the battery is fully charged and the starter is good. If the crank is turning, make sure you have spark and fuel to the engine. Also, it sounds like you may have broken the timing belt. Have that checked.
