So it is getting fire but won't start. Take the battery out and take it to auto zone they will load test it and see if it is good and recharge it for free.
You could have a couple issues if it is not the battery but that is the easiest.

Might be can you jump it off at all. Autozone will also test an alternator for ya.
Easy possibility
unplug your CPS and then blow it out and plug it back in.
It is at the back of the LONG BLOCK on the RT side just abover where you would burp and renix system.

You also need to check that you are getting fuel and good spark. It sounds like it is turning over enough to start if everyting is working like it should. Sounds like the battery is low but that could be from repeated cranking. JMHO but it is a 2000 so not really in my area of expertise.

Is it a Limited? Are you using the right key? Some of those year models had Chrysler's Sentry system...but the battery does sound really weak.

lol im using the right key trust me I am super worried now though becouse today i looked at the battery after me and my buddy muscle/pushed it up the driveway and into the garage and the date on the battery says 2007 so i worry it might be the alt. amd im not inclined to do that in my driveway so it would get expensive
