Default No crank, dash going crazy

I put LED lights in for high beams, drove it home and went to start it this morning and it won't crank over or anything. All the lights inside including the dash, the overhead start rapidly flashing and the dash makes a grinding noise like it's trying to work. Tried charging the batt and nothing. Tried unplugging the batt to reset the computer. Still nothing. Anyone know what might happen? The LED kit is a plug and play kit and already has the conversion I need to use the LED lights.

I'd start by getting the battery bench tested. Could be a coincidence that it died around the same time, could have lost some of its power so the CCA aren't high enough anymore.

If the battery had a bad section, it could happen. Glad all is well now
