the starter is seized , time for a replacement

if you jump the solenoid contacts and nothing happens , that is pretty much the clue

Check the power line from the battery you may have a bad wire not carrying enough power but just because you bought a new starter doesn't mean it wasn't bad too id take it back and have them check it or replace it.
