You probably just need a battery. Take the battery to the local auto parts store and have them test it. If it is bad they will sell you a new one. Let us know.

Then you either have a bad alternator or an electrical short that is draining the battery. Have someone check your battery terminals to make sue that they are very tight and clean. If that does not help, take the car to the auto parts shop and have the alternator tested.
