you may just have a dead battery. try jump starting. a battery can have enough power to light up the dash lights and stuff, but not enough to engage the starter.

Clicking is a sign of a low battery, or bad connections usually at the battery, try charging or jumping the car to see if it will turn over and start. Also may have a charging issue.
