I placed the key in the ignition and turned, the radio turned on and everything lit up as usual but it will not turn over. There is a clicking sound though when turning the key in the ignition. Says service stabilitrak and power steering.

The starter requires much more power than anything else on the vehicle, so it's common for accessories to still work even though the battery is bad. The voltage drop caused by attempting to start the engine with a bad battery is probably what caused the warning messages to appear.
