Plug it in for about 1.5 hours and charge up the batteries then give it another try.

Did you add any anti-gelling agent to your fuel? Its been cold enough to do this(guy i know has a ford that is not starting saturday due to gelling) Just one thought! I am assuming you had it outside.

Go get yourself 5 gals of kerosene, dump it all in the tank (if you have at least 3/4 tank full, otherwise keep it at 20% ratio) , charge batteries good and try to start it. It will take a while before treated fuel will get into lines and pumps but eventually it will get there. It's been -15 here in MN and my truck starts and runs like a champ.
