Do you know how to check for fuel and spark?
Can you pull one of the spark plugs and let us know if it is wet or dry?
If it is wet, you are getting fuel, if it is dry no fuel. Does the check engine light go out while you are cranking the engine over attempting to start it?

Also , do you hear the fuel pump in the tank run for the usual 2 seconds when you first turn the key on?

Also, if you have a second working key, try the other key.

If you decide to return to this thread, give the next thought some consideration.

Fuses usually don't open just for the heck of it, there is something going on that caused that fuse to blow.
If it doesn't happen again, great, If it does , we'll expect to hear from you. Happy motoring !

How many miles on the odometer?
Do you remember one of the things you could try if the fuel pump won't start, like banging on the bottom of the tank when the key is in the start position?
Does your truck have dual tanks?
