Default Changing the spark plugs on my '97 A8

I am sitting in the coldest weather my car or I have ever felt! My A8 was frozen 2 days ago, it wouldn't start. I have since added fuel antifreeze (to a 1/4 tank) and an oil pan heater. I can hear the starter trying but there is no firing. I spoke to the Audi dealership, they told me that it was probably flooded from so many attempts and I would need to change the spark plugs. I have never done this before on any car, but I am unable to tow it from its parked position. Does anyone have any advise or a schematic on how to do this? Maybe it's something else. Any help would be so hugely appreciated.

I would get a battery booster and keep cranking it... thats just me tho...

To change the spark plugs it seems an awful lot of work...

Change the spark plugs.... i dont think so. I couldn't see alot go wrong there , they might be dirty. Should still start though.

Did you try it again?
