Sounds like the security system engaged. a lot of people have had luck resetting this by using the fob to lock and unlock the driver's door. if that fails then try using the key to lock and unlock the driver's door. or try going to the kia forum in the link register and ask the same question. they will help you out. good luck.

check your key remote if it is not programmed the alarm will go into the kill switch mode and will not allow you to start your engine Having the same trouble with one of my keys I haven't found a way to reprogram it without calling dealer and paying a chunk.

It seems the starter is playing up.First check if your battery is charged fully or try to jump start and see what happens.If the engine start then it's either you need a new battery or else you need a replacement alternator.Test using a voltmeter if the actual altenator is working.Finally the last option is the starter motor that needs changing or fixing...Hope this helps.
