Without performing diagnostic troubleshooting nobody can tell you what is wrong. From what you say, I would begin figuring out why turning the ignition switch to START doesn't cause the starter to turn.

Check for battery voltage at the starter solenoid in the START position. Trace backward if voltage is not present to find the fault ( Aftermarket alarm? Aftermarket starter cut? ). If voltage is present the starter is probably broken.

there are to voltage present at the starter. so it must be good right?

Check to make sure you have power at the small wire at the starter with the key in the start position(3rd) you will need help doing this , if not then check fuses or relays under the dash and hood. If you have power then your solenoid on the starter is bad and needs replaced
