I know you are trying, but that simple sentence tells us very little. We cannot diagnose a car with just that information.

So, you have told us one thing: The starter is not engaging.

Do this:
Get in car, put key in, turn to "start" - I assume the starter won't engage, if it wont, release key and let it return to "on".
Wait 45 seconds.
What do you hear? Do you hear the large engine cooling fan spin up to 'warp speed" such that it sounds like a plane is taking off under the hood?

If you do hear this, turn the key to 'off', the sound will die out.
Open hood, yank RCM and either replace the RCM or get it fixed.
This is a COMMON issue, that SO many of us have dealt with. The entire story is here:

If, in the above test, you do NOT hear the engine fan spin up, we have much more detective work to do.
