Default 2008 2.5S Wont start

So, yesterday my car was sluggish when starting. I had to get a tired changed, so I had to crank it to straighten the wheel. Again, it was sluggish, but did start the first time I hit the button. Fast-forward to yesterday afternoon and the car will not start. The brake pedal will not push all the way in and when I hit the button, nothing happens but all the lights come on. So, I replaced the battery and everything was fine. However, this morning, I go out to the car and again it won't start. However this time, it makes this weird almost grinding noise?? Kinda sounds like the noise a car makes when you turn the key and hold it instead of letting the key go once it's started, only my car doesn't have a physical key to start it and I wasn't holding the button. I pushed it and let it go. Also a gas smell after this happens. I have a video as well if anyone thinks they can help me. All opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Is the MIL light on? If so, scan computer for trouble code. If no trouble code, check negative battery cable connection at chassis and engine. Also inspect and test Starter.

Beforehand the check engine light/service engine soon light was on. I wont be able to get someone to check those things until tomorrow as I know nothing about cars. Some people were throwing out the idea that it may be the fuel pump as well. I will have everything you suggested checked, as well as the fuel pump and then I will post an update.
