I just encountered this situation last week. It's really frustrating when the car just won't start. Checking the battery is definitely the first step - see if the battery warning light is glowing red or if the headlights appear dim. If it's indeed a battery issue, first check if there's an emergency tool kit in the engine compartment with jumper cables. The procedure is quite simple: park a working car nose-to-nose close to yours, connect the red cable to both batteries' positive terminals, then attach the black cable first to the rescue car's negative terminal and then to your car's metal frame. Make sure not to reverse the connections! After connecting, let the rescue car idle for 10 minutes before trying to start. If it still doesn't work, don't force it - calling a tow truck is the safest option. In my case, the battery was completely worn out - charging didn't help and I had to replace it. The original factory battery lasted over seven years before giving up.
