Before you start it again check the oil level.

Definitely sounds like a flat battery, but may be something else with the leaking fluid/oil light etc. But that sound is definitely battery, heard it too many times before.

With sudden loss of power perhaps alternator is dead, causing the dead battery.. Worth a look..
