First things first. Do you have a volt meter to check the battery voltage? What engine do you have?
Let me know.

If the battery has gone dead, it could cause the security system to go into full lock-up mode. If it has locked up the accessories will work after the battery is charged back up , but the power to the starter will be cut off and it wont turn over. You need to do the 30 minute learn procedure. A GM dealer will print it out for you and you can do it yourself. It's very simple if you follow the procedure exact. hope this helps and good luck.

SOURCE: Dead battery even after 12 hours of charging?

it sounds to me that you could just have a bad connection at the battery post. look to see if there is any corrossive build up on them. this can happen over time. it is also possible you have a dead cell in the battery. your best bet is to remove the battery and take it to any major auto parts store. most of the major retailers will check the battery free of charge. hope this helps
