Turning over is the same thing as cranking. You turn over/crank the engine with the starter to start it up.

I think you mean that you can crank the car but it won't start?

Do you have fuel? Pull the plugs and check for wetness.
Spark? Disconnect a plug wire, shove something metal into it (old spark plug) and place it near a ground.

If you have both fuel and spark it's probably just flooded.
