Default 2013 F-150 won’t start

My F-150 with 57k miles won’t start. I tried jump starting and still nothing. It was cranking and stopped all of a sudden. Right before this happened, I got a message on my dashboard indicating all types of faults like hill descent, traction, fuel level low (when there was at least 1/2 tank). Nothing turns on including interior/exterior lights and anti-theft. Key fob is not locking/unlocking doors remotely. When I tried to unlock the door MANUALLY, the key just starts wiggling around in the keyhole at one point and then it does not wiggle anymore and I am unable to open the door that way as well. I tested battery and it seems fine. Only thing that works are my LED off-road lights which are hooked up externally to battery otherwise no power to truck. What can be the issue here?

If you still have the original battery in the truck, it is time for a new one. I would start there.

if it's the original I'd say the battery needs replacing also but I'd look for a blown fuse (or two) under the hood first.
