Kinda hard to say, as it could be a bunch of different things. Maybe your ignitor or coil went out, or perhaps your fuel pump gave up. As soon as you get it back to a garage, check for spark and fuel and troubleshoot from there. Hopefully it isn't anything too serious.

Sounds like an ignitor problem. Replace the coil first, if it still doesn't start up its probably ignitor.
