My guess would be that your fuel lines might have gotten water in them so they freeze up. I would just take it for a nice long drive and get it going again.

When you store a car you should put a fuel additive in the tank and disconect the battery. Also make sure the fuel is full in the winter.

It should be okay.

I recommend ruling out the following: Starter, alternator then battery. You probably need a new starter.
