Block the wheels. Then have someone hold the key in start while you tap the starter with a hammer or something heavy, if it starts your starter is bad and won't start many more times so replace the starter. I'm guessing you tried to jump it already, if not try that first. If it starts with a jump look for a bad battery or alternator. I hope this helps
