Check the timing belt. It probably broke while you were driving. Common problem if you don't change them on a regular basis. You can look in the area where you put the oil while cranking. If the valves don't move then the belt is shot.

I agree with gtp but seeing how you asked, check there is spark to the spark plugs (telling if the wires and coil/pack are good) and that there is fuel and its getting to the engine.

Yes but the spark plugs are after the wires and and coil. if either of the two are bad you wont get spark to the spark plugs but either way let us know how you made out.
