    Battery is likely dead, new doesn't mean good forever.

    Have you tried boosting it?

    If you have a meter, check voltage at the battery. While you’re looking at the battery, if the terminals are acid covered, clean them. Then try starting again, if battery voltage was close to 12.5. If it’s very low, try jump starting.

    Check battery cables, make sure they're snug. Put a voltmeter across the terminals, does it drop down below 10 volts when attempting to crank?
    If yes the battery is weak

    If the battery is strong and the cables are tight, check for voltage down at the starter on the skinny control wire and the big battery cable. If you have battery voltage at both when in the crank position the starter is likely dead
