An engine needs 3 things to run: Fuel, compression and a correct ignition source.

When was the cam belt last changed/due? Is your check engine light on??

In a clean, dust proof area, remove the cam cover and verify by sight the camshaft turns when the crackshaft turns.

If not, your cam belt is broken, and you'll have to spend some cash, possibly <$500- if the head, bolts and pistons have survived.

If OK, verify by sight that the cam is timed correctly [you'll have to remove the fan and front cam belt cover]

this is enough for now-pls do above and report back.
