Put a new battery in my 2001 nissan sentra and now all the lights come on and the car engine turns over like it is trying to start but will not start and none of the gauges move when you turn the key on.

All "crank, no start" conditions are approached in the same way. Every engine requires certain functions to be able to run. Some of these functions rely on specific components to work and some components are part of more than one function so it is important to see the whole picture to be able to conclude anything about what may have failed. Also, these functions can ONLY be tested during the failure. Any other time and they will simply test good because the problem isn't present at the moment.
If you approach this in any other way, you are merely guessing and that only serves to replace unnecessary parts and wastes money.
Every engine requires spark, fuel and compression to run. That's what we have to look for.
These are the basics that need to be tested and will give us the info required to isolate a cause.
1) Test for spark at the plug end of the wire using a spark tester. If none found, check for power supply on the + terminal of the coil with the key on.
2) Test for injector pulse using a small bulb called a noid light. If none found, check for power supply at one side of the injector with the key on.
3) Use a fuel pressure gauge to test for correct fuel pressure, also noticing if the pressure holds when key is shut off.
4) If all of these things check good, then you would need to do a complete compression test.
Once you have determined which of these functions has dropped out,
you will know which system is having the problem.

This only happened when the door was left open all night and it completely killed the battery and we had to replace it.

So, what's your point? You still have a Crank, no start" and you don't know the reason so that is the diagnostic procedure.

Buffy: The "All Crank No Start" compilation is spot on. I just want to add that if this car has an alarm system a battery going dead would likely trigger it not to run if so you should know how you set and unset any of those type things first,
