Need some auto Car battery help

cheers!

i left my truck sitting around for two months.

then it would not turn. however, the radio powered on. flipped the lid and saw that the battery leaked a little bit. the posts were messy and the top of the battery was covered in juice. it did not drip onto the floor -- meaning the tray caught all the drip.

i cleaned up the posts and connectors with a scrub pad with baking soda/water. i filled up the eight battery holes with a little distilled water as per my truck manual. now the vehicle will not power anything. no radio even!

so, when the battery was messy the radio turned on but the engine would not turn.
after the battery was cleaned up nothing powers on. why?

what should i do?
jump?
or get new battery?




thx!
