Welcome!

This could be either a mechanical issue or an electrical issue.

First, check to see if you can turn over the engine "by hand" with a ratchet and socket on the crank pulley bolt without binding. Removing the spark plugs will help you feel how the engine turns without feeling the engine compression.

If the engine turns over just fine by hand, you have an electrical problem, either with the starter itself, the wiring and connections going to it, or bad block to starter to battery grounding.

Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it?
