2007 Dodge Caliber Won't Start, Cranking Sounds Odd

Question

We've got a 2007 Dodge Caliber that suddenly won't turn over. I thought it was the battery, measured the voltage with a multimeter at 11.7v and replaced it but the problem persists. It doesn't seem to "crank" in the normal way - I've uploaded a video showing the issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rmZ1y3w2j8
Would love any ideas on what this could be?

Follow up on the solution for this - we took the car in and apparently when we swapped out the battery (the old one read less than 12v on the multimeter) the car went into "security mode?" Once the computer was reset everything works normally.
