Does it make any sound even though it does not move? Do any of the electronics (speedometer, lights, horn, etc) work when the key is turned on?

If it went forward enough to turn then I assume the engine was running at the time. If it stopped moving while the engine was running then the best you could hope for is a broken drive belt. This is something that should be pretty obvious if you lift the seat.

Another, less likely, possibility is a broken starter belt. You might hear the starter motor (generator) whirring when you press the pedal but it could be too quiet to hear. Again, if you lift the seat you would see the broken belt or at least the empty pulleys where a belt should be.

If it isn't one of those two easy problems then it could be any number of things like a blown fuse, a bad starter motor, a bad ground or other loose connection, etc. Others might have things to look into but it could be time to call a repairman.
