Sounds like low battery voltage. Provide more symptoms, action taken, behavior, and answer my questions.
1. Is this happen in just sudden?
2. Do you left light on?
3. Do you left any power draining equipment on?
4. Does the battery power sensitive to the temperature?
5. Does the battery drained after recent charge?
6. If you fully charged the battery, does the battery drain after driving the car for 30 min?
I provide few quick and common possibilities to you anyway, as I don't check the forum frequently.
Possibility 1:
Low battery voltage, but battery rechargeable.
Solution 1:
Charge battery
Possibility 2:
Low distill water level, but battery rechargeable
Solution 2:
Add distill water until it covers the metal plates. Most wet cell battery (normally price below CAD$100) casing is not semi-transparent, which you are not able to see the distill water level. Look for acid warning label on top of the battery. There must be some plastic cover, which covers the hole to fill in distill water. Canadian tire sell for $2 1 gallon, or gas station $1 1 L. This photo shows a car battery which need to add distill water (not maintenance free battery)

Possibility 3:
Oxidize anode, or cathode battery terminal at the battery A post terminal
Solution 3:
Raise off oxidation by using baking soda, and hot water. Note that the hot water will turn of ice at the battery pan, and stick to the battery
Possibility 4:
Loose wiring connection. Normally at battery termination
Solution 4:
Tighten the screw
Possibility 5:
Copper terminal (at the battery) thickness become very thin
Solution 5:
Replace battery terminal. Require workshop to cramp the thick gauge wire to the new battery terminal properly
Due to environment friendly, try to charge your battery, and re-use the battery first. Workshop charge $10 to charge it, while you can charge yourself with battery charger from friend, or buy one yourself, with price range $30 - $200. Recommend to use lowest current (if you use constant current charger, or smart charger) to slowly charge your battery, due to it is fully drained. This will gives more time for the chemical to absorb the electronic, and becomes ionic again. Nonetheless, charge with high ample or low ample will not shown any different to normal user. The effect will only be observe by looking at how fast the battery drain in the future.
Personal advise:
Minimum, I advise to charge battery yearly. For optimum performance, charge the battery monthly, or half yearly.

Warning: Remove all jewelry, watch, ring, plastic, paint, cloth, etc while working with car battery. Sulfuric Acid (corrosive) can burn, and melt most materials. Wear junk cloths, polyester dress, goggle, etc.
