Make sure the gas valve is on and it's not choked up.
Sorry but with no more information we can only guess as to what is causing the problem.
Does the motor turn over but not crank?
Or nothing happens when you turn the key?
You may need to go over everything since this is probably your first mowing this year and try get your mower in good shape to run all year without problems.
There are several very good YouTube videos to help you find your problem but in addition you can take your battery, filters, and spark plug to your local auto parts store and they will check them for you. Perhaps you should purchase a can of starting fluid also just in case your mower needs help with that beginning start.
If you suspect your carburetor may be dirty you can also purchase a can of carburetor cleaner and maybe not have to take it apart.

Normally the first thing to check is the battery to see if it is charged correctly and getting power to the mower. The second thing to check is the reset switch that is under the seat. Make sure it is not tripped and in the off position. Now you'll need to check the gas lines and make sure the fule lines are open and the gas is flowing to the carburetor.
This could very well be the Battery or spark plugs , or both. These give the power to your motor!
Make and model might be useful..
