Timing chain is not your problem. Most likely is your electrical system and the most likely place to start is the battery. You may have enough juice to light the dash lights but not enough to crank the engine. Try jump starting it and, if it starts, let it run for 10-15 minutes to charge the battery. Then get the battery tested an see if it measures up to the needed voltage spec.
