Chances are that your starter went out. Sometimes, the solenoid just gets stuck and you can have someone try to start the car while you bang on it with a hammer to get it unstuck. If this doesn't fix it though, you might be looking at changing out the starter. Don't try to keep cranking while you have this problem though, it could drain your battery life quickly.

Wont start makes clicking noise when you turn it over?

Does the engine turn over and then make the clicking noise while trying to start, or does it not do anything but make the clicking noise when you turn the key. If its not turning over at all then it might be a battery problem, Try cleaning the battery terminals, and/or charge the battery, Could also be the starter solenoid, but start with the battery first.
