get a volt meter and check the battery terminal to terminal. if that's fine. move to the fuse block under the hood and in the car and check those. if those are both fine it's probably the fuseable link at the starter.

i had a simliar experince, i was at a shop one day and when i went to move the car it just wouldnt start. it was like everything was dead. the owner of the shop came out with an electrical tester and we checked the fuses turns out he yanked a big fuse and put it back in. after that didnt have any problems.

actually if it was fine and the shut off I wager that one of the plate shed some oxide which in turn shorted the battery. This isn't that uncommon.
