I have a 98 corolla CE automatic with about 152k miles on it and last night while I was parking my car I turned it off and decided to start it up again, but when i tried my car didn't want to start, so i took the key off and put it back in to start it up but didn't even make a crank noise to start up, I'm not sure if its the starter or the alternator that needs to be replaced

Most likely issue is your battery. You can take it to most any store that sells batteries and they can test it out with an amp draw tool before you replace it.

Also check and make sure there is no corrosion on the battery terminals. If so clean with baking soda and water.

I replaced the battery 2 years ago but I will do that, also there is a bit of corrosion i'll be sure to clean that up right now and let keep posting with updates with my car and post pictures of my engine to get a visual
