This evening I cleaned my battery terminals. When I went to start the car back up all I get is the starter clicking (multiple times) but no engine turnover. I have searched and the only answer I can come up with is the solenoid. If there is anything else I should try please let me know. Also, I'm not exactly mechanically savvy.

do you have the terminals tight? how many ohms resistance between the post and the terminal, the post and the + into the starter, the post and the body, the post and the - into the starter?

What did you use to clean the battery ?? Try another battery see if that helps.
