Sounds as if you have a low / flat battery . Could be a dud battery or just needing a charge . Also need to check alternator charging rate is ok . MIGHT start with a jump start .

If your battery is reading 12v , that IS your fault .
A battery is at twenty-five percent or low voltage at around 12.0
