Rough idle, stalled out and no the motor will not turn over

What is your question?

Car ran fine. Then I tried cranking it and the idle was rough and it would stall out. Motor would not stay cranked. Now motor won’t even turn over. Battery is less than 6 months old. Brand new spark plugs. I turn the key dash lights come on but when trying to crank there is nothing. Engine doesn’t turn at all.

What makes this problem better or worse?

Nothing

Possible failed alternator that has allowed battery discharge to the point of engine stall now no crank. ALL symptoms are indicative! Try jump starting.
