I just replaced the alternator and battery a few months ago. When I got home last night, the car had no power. Tried to jump it off and nothing came on. I really don’t know what else to do.

This means the battery connection is bad or the battery shorted out internally and is defective. This guide can help you clean the battery cable connections:

If they are clean and tight, I would try turning on the headlights and if they don't come on replace the battery. When you jump a battery that is shorted the jump will not help FYI.
