Turned van off, and now she won't start.

I'm not a car person at all. Hoping someone can give me an idea if this is a simple battery change needed, a blown alternator or something else.
My car did something similar too once. Alternator was the culprit and the battery was in need of replacement too. My car lasted about 4 days after the initial warning lights, not quite a week though.

That's my first guess: Alternator +/- battery. But tbh, I have no idea.
