What exactly is the car doing? Does it turn over? Did you do any work with the electrical system lately?

Try disconnecting the battery again, this time press the brake pedal several times to drain the capacitors and let it sit for about twenty minutes. Then when you try to start it again, use your extra key (hopefully you have one). Mine did this about a couple of months ago and this is what worked for me. If that doesn't work, you will likely have to have it towed to the dealer to have it checked.

Make sure it is a flatbed, do not let them use ANY OTHER KIND OF TOW TRUCK TO MOVE YOUR MUSTANG!!!!

Flatbed is the safest way and if you look in your owner's manual it is the only approved method. Other types of tow trucks can easily damage your car. Most likely damage would be body damage but driveline damage is also possible.

It's probably the PATS in your key going out. It could be the battery in the key is bad too.
