Check you battery - sounds like it has gone flat, or possibly a wire has come off one of the terminals. For there to be NO power, it pretty much HAS to be the battery.

First check that one of the wires on the battery is not loose.

Then, use sheilded jumper cables to jump start the car. Put the positive on your car first, then on the car you are using to jump start (this car's engine should be running). Then put the negative on to a bare metal part of your car (not the neg batt terminal) - the hook on the front of the motor is a good place. Then the other end onto the neg terminal of the running car. Then start your car and remove the cables in opposite order.

Should have you running.

Then go to your mechanic to have your battery tested. If its fine, then you must have left something on (like your interior light).

+1 I'd agree.
From the info you have given us, your battery is dead flat.

It is possible that your could have had an accessory on all night and it deadened your battery.
also have your mechanic check alternator output which should cost basic nothing.
