Starter went bad?

So the car was completely fine starting starting up normally last night. This morning woke up went to start the car turned the key no crank no noise nothing just this high-pitched whining electric fan noise is this an indication to replace the starter?

Had to inspect fuse 49 and 52 after my interior lights stopped working while trying to splice a wire the footwell light for the angel eye halos. pulling fuse 49 triggered some kind of anti theft alarm and I quickly put it back in to stop the alarm sound. and the interior lights started working again. However the key fob locking/unlocking stopped working. Everything else seems to work fine apart from the fuel door locking when the car is locked (which was working fine before). I also tried the re synchronisation steps countless times with no success. And I know it’s not the key fob as i had to pay quite a bit to get another one programmed. Let me know if anyone knows a solution. Also changed out the antenna amplifier module. Still no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Paid a lot of money to have the key programmed only for this to happen a few weeks later
