if the starter isn't goin i'd say bad starter....... if it is cranking i'd say check for spark.

when you say won't turn over, do you mean there is absolutely nothing happening when you trun the key? not even a click? If that's the case then I would check the battery first. You either have a low battery, a faulty ignition or some kind of electrical problem. Take a voltometer and make sure you're getting at least 12 volts on the battery. If the starter is actually truning the engine over but it won't fire, then it could be a whole host of other things.

if you have a very "heavy weight" oil, like 50 or something it may keep you from turning over, in very cold weather.
