I checked the oil and it is at the add oil line. But I just got oil put in about 3wks ago. Should the oil run out that fast!Today went out to start it up, it didn't even try to turn over. The more I tried to turn it over the less juice I got. Thanks for your response.

So its not turning
did you try to get a jump?
Try to turn the engine manually
get a wrench and a socket to fit on the crank shaft bolt and try to turn it by hand
if it does then the motor isn’t seized
and you have to check starter and battery
