No, we think it’s the immobiliser

If immobiliser on most cars you get a warning light . Have you checked battery voltage , tried a jump start ? The fact that the lights and wipers work fine means nothing as they take little power to operate compared to starting car

Tried a jump start tried everything like a push start and all, but got nothing back. I’m going to try the spare key and see what happens fingers crossed, maybe it’s a faulty battery in the key or something?

The battery is gone voltage wise too
