If the engine was cold when you moved the car, the engine may now be flooded. Try holding the gas pedal down to the floor and then try starting it.

Could be lots of things. My '98 Volvo V70XC ran great one day. Would not start the next. It was a bad fuel pump. Had to have it towed out of my driveway to the repair shop. Absolutely ran great one day, next day - nothing.
