welcome there, could be bad earth as Blue Beasty said, sure you didn't leave any big loads on? like lights?

I left my lights on at work last week and drained the battery, easily done if your buzzer don't work

Check the starter leads and connections are clean and secure.

if they are ok check voltage from the ignition could be dodgy switch

Ackshirley could be the starter solenoid terminals need cleaning/replacing
