Are you getting in voltage to anything? Will the head lights come on if they do when you try to start it do they get dim? Hope fully you have just blown a fuse that would be the first thing that I would check. If not a blown fuse for sure check your wiring.

Check the battery wires. One of them could have melted causing a short in the electrical system. It could also be a fuse-able link or a bad starter. Good luck, and next time, strap your battery down.
