I added oil, about 1/2 quart, it is possible I put to much in, then I drove about 20 miles when the car cooled down the car would not start. Never had any problems before this.
I don't have any money as I just gave it to the tow truck.

Even if you overfilled it by 1/2 quart, that would not cause this problem. I need you to check to see if the engine is getting spark and fuel. (I am assuming the starter is working). Let me know what you find.

The car battery is still strong and the starter turns very fast. It fired a few times but not enouph to start.

Either fuel or spark is missing. You need to check to see which one it is.
