I can push start my car but if I try to turn it on with the key it will not crank but the dash lights come on.

This sounds like the starter motor went out but to be sure lets test for power at the trigger which is the small wire on the starter. Here is a guide to help you get started look at the bottom of the guide:

and

Please run down these guides and report back.
