Hi,
and welcome,
Genreally if your solenoids are clicking then it's getting SOME power to the starter.. however it IS worth double checking the wiring from the battery to the starter,
when you turn the key do the ignition lights on the dashboard stay BRIGHT or do they DIM?,

if they stay BRIGHT then it's probably a poor connection somewhere, battery's power NOT going anywhere !!

you've not given any mechanical details,
I would be tempted check all fluid levels - then to push / tow start the car, just to determine it's NOT an engine issue..,

Solenoid clicking shows live feed is going to the solenoid. This is quite a low current. This should move the pinion into engagement with the teeth on the flywheel, then make a connection that connects the fat wire from the battery to the motor to turn it and the engine. This is a big current. But it won't do anything unless the circuit is complete, so make sure the earth cable is secure from battery to gearbox.

When solenoid clicks, is it just that, or can you hear the pinion engaging. If not engaging, probably the earth.

Don't try to tow start it unless you've turned the engine by hand two complete revolutions. This will identify whether there is anything physically stopping it turning.
