Sounds like you cooked the main fuse going from the battery to the fuse box. Or something happened to one of the battery cables.
There should be a 75 or 100 amp fuse that powers the main fuse box.
No the key switch should not be the problem, but you may have to trace the circuits back to it before you find the problem. There should be several major fuses in the box in the engine compartment that would be tested with a meter or test light along with the actual cables from the battery.
You have to start at the battery and find out how far the voltage goes before it stops. And don't forget the ground connections.
