I use the USB connector to my PC and it has worked until today. When i woke up my phone was dead, though i had it hooked up to charge all night. Now, if i leave it alone for like 30 minutes, it will try to load up but dies before it finishes and wont take a charge.

Chances are your phone got too hot during the night and overcharged the Lithium Ion battery. If those batteries are exposed to too much heat then they won't have the battery life they used to have. You need to purchase a replacement battery or contact your wireless carrier to see about getting another one.
It won't turn on because battery is too low. Another benefit of lithium ion batteries. When they are depleted, the internal controller / charge circuitry on battery disables it.
You didn't mention what kind of phone other than Motorola. If it has a USB connector to charge through, make sure that you are using a motorola approved charger. There is a way to make the USB connectors (charger side) indicate a particular class and rating. If this doesn't match what the phone expects, then you will likely get a Cannot Charge message or similar.
That being said, this usually only happens with AC wall chargers. I have yet to see it happen with a vehicle charger, though I don't rule it out.
Try removing the battery and clean the contact's, then reinsert the battery and let it charge, if it do'es not begin to charge your adapter may need to be replaced, or your battery.
Lots of battery issues with the Bold. Try taking the battery out, keeping it out and connecting to PC with USB. Do any lights come on? Red light should appear. Put battery in while connected to USB.
Another fix that I found for a friend-leave the battery out of the unit for a day-put it in and plug in power cord or USB. It worked.
I am guessing heat can only come from discharging the battery in a non-intentional way. Short circuit or something internal.
Did you plug it into something besides the connector it came with? An FM transmitter for the iPod killed mine. Hard reset, wall charging, USB charge, iTunes restore, replaced the battery ... still dead. Considering how hot it gets, (could be a fire hazard?) surprised Apple doesn't issue a notice or warning.
