So you have a weak battery or a faulty alternator or a dead short in the wiring. My bet is either or both of the first two since a dead short would leave the distinct smell of burning wires. Get the battery tested first. It is the easiest and cheapest to replace if it is the problem.
@hippyjoe1955 They could replace the battery today at Walmart or any auto store.

@questionWeaver Exactly and for not much money. A good heavy duty battery for one of my trucks cost less than $100.00 and I changed it in the parking lot using a 3/8" wrench. My other truck needs a 8mm wrench. Not hard to do. Just don't get the battery acid on your clothes. lol Moths have nothing on battery acid.

Your top priority is to get the car working. Have it towed to a reputable garage and mechanic.
