I was driving to work the other day and the serpentine belt and idle pulley broke, I replaced both the idle pulley and belt now the car will not crank. I attached my OD2 reader and got a code P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 or Single Sensor, I replaced the sensor and charged the battery, the car still will not crank. Help please!

That sounds like you have no compression. Most likely caused by a valve issue or a larger engine issue.

Let's start with running a compression check and make sure the engine is sound. If we don't have compression, like I suspect then we need to go down that path.
