You need to check the starter solenoid by the battery. Check the connections are tight & clean etc.
Lastly get someone to hold it in the start position whilst you check the large wire that goes to the starter with a volt meter. If that's ok (12v) then it's either a loose wire at the starter or the starter motor is faulty..

More likely the battery is weak. Try jumping it.

If not a dead battery then probably a bad ground at the block.
