    Yes, it sounds like the ignition coil has failed. It's in the distributor and easy to replace.
    Just test for spark first. There might be some there, but chances are it's too weak to fire combustion.

    Sounds like you need to remove and fully charge or replace the battery. Most auto parts stores will test and charge batteries for free.
