First of all, are there any lights on in the car? If not, check the battery. If the lights are on, check the connections on the starter and at the battery, as well as your grounds.

The only think I can think of is that you somehow grounded out a terminal when you were replacing the battery. If it happens again, then you have to start chasing it.
