Welcome newbie!
I'll move this over to General Tech where it belongs.

Check both ends of both battery cables. Loose/dirty/corroded? When you try & it doesn't crank, check the voltage at the 2 hot wires at the starter. If either one doesn't have battery voltage, tell us which one.

You can also check the clutch switch. Sometimes it gets pushed out of proper position, or broken, or ???

If the click is coming from the starter, it sounds like the contacts for the solenoid are worn out.

If you hold the key in the start position, have someone hit the starter with the handle of a screwdriver with light/medium force. If the car starts, you pretty much verified the problem.
