Is this a used car? If it is chances are that the battery in the key FOB has run down. Try placing the FOB right next to the start button and go through the start process.

What happens when you press the start button without your foot on the pedal? Do the lights come on? Does it turn over? Saying it didn't start is not descriptive enough to help you.

There isn't a "key not detected" message displayed is there and does your smart key lock/unlock the doors. You may just have a really dead car battery. They can short out and die just that fast.
