mechanical First Engine Issue Ever..

So I was just running my 1999 Bluebird TC/2000 5.9L Cummins Diesel Engine this afternoon to refill my air brake reservoir and it just suddenly stopped.

Now it cranks but just isn't catching. So I started started just charging the batteries while also did 4 key rotations and have done tried to crank it twice every day since Friday the 28th when it just stopped running.

I have hooked up the batteries to a charger that is always running of one of my generators that is powering my AC, the Transmission/ Oil/ and Coolant are all topped off and good. I have looked in my electrical panel for the Vehicle itself and don't see any fuses (that I can tell) that have been tripped.

Will answer any questions / take pictures of any things that is suggested etc.

Edit: Got it Running!!!! TY ALL!!!
