I push the button and try to start it as normal. It cranks and won't start but acts as though it wants to start.

It sounds like the fuel pump is going out, will the engine run on starting fluid? If so, we should run the codes and if none comes up let's do a fuel pressure test. Also make sure the tank has gas in it.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload a video of the engine cranking over so I can tell if the engine is hurt or not. Here is how to change the fuel pump out in case you need it.
