HELP! What is wrong with my car! 200 1983

Okay, this is strange. My car has been running great but now it's not even starting! Here's the scoop. I stopped driving my 245 for a couple of days and had it parked in the driveway. I used my other car, my main ride, to get to school and wherever I needed to go. Around 6-7 pm, my brother would move my car to the street so my sister can park her car. Well, only after TWO days of not driving my Volvo, I decided to take my baby to school today. When I turned the engine this morning, it craked but didn't start! I tried and tried! It's like it wants to but can't! I dunno what happened! It has been driving perfectly, and I don't think two days of sitting could have drained the battery. As a matter of fact, I had it sit longer than that, and it would still start up in the morning. But this thing is strange! A possibility is that my brother might have flooded the engine, but what are the symptoms of a flooded engine? Or could it actually be a battery thing? But the car still cranks--I thought that if the battery is dead, then nothing moves. Or is it a fuse thing? I've no clue! The only thing I did was an oil and flush change, and that was done last Sat. I drove the car on the following Mon. and Tue. It drove fine. I didn't drive it on Wed., but on Thu. I found out it wouldn't start.

What could it be? Well, before I end here, let me state the current situation. The engine turns, but doesn't start. I miss driving like a maniac!
