That sounds like it is time to buy a multimeter and do a voltage test,and OR jump start it and drive to auto zone or advance auto and have a charging,electrical check for maybe a bad alternator or battery,or maybe something as simple as a loose ground wire or cable going to battery.Basic thing based on your post and cold weather and hot can kill a weak battery and or alternator.I just replaced a battery today in my mother in laws civic,getting weak NO sign but green eye was dim and did the checks and kind of low.Once I took the battery and got it load tested it def failed! 4 yrs old so consider that.

As stated you need to do some testing.

have you tried jump starting the car? If so what results?

If you can get ti started then take it to local parts store and they can come out and test the charging system to find the problem.

I feel really stupid now but I found the problem. The clutch pedal was only pressing the clutch position sensor half cause my floor mat and wasn't letting the starter crank over.-_- simplest things at times.
