tell us a story of how you swapped the battery, why you changed the battery?
you probably just missed something small.

Is it cranking at all, do you hear that the engine is spinning but not starting. If not cranking at all, check if you did disconnect the wire to the starter motor solenoid by mistake.
If it is cranking but not starting.
Check if the Fuel pump starting
Check if the main relay is ticking
Check if you have sparks.
