Batteries are just a chemical reaction. Lower the temperature and you lower the power output of the battery.
In cold weather you have many things working against you. Lower power from battery, viscous oil, lower combustion chamber temp. All these things make it difficult to start. I would start by putting a charger on your battery. Once charged, if it still won't turn over, take it to a parts place and have them test it.
