I would start with:

1. Battery (charge it and then have it tested)
2. Charging system (Is there more than 14volts across the batter at 5,000rpms?)
3. spark plugs (what do they look like?)

if the bike was running good a week ago, I doubt the carbs are gummed up unless you picked up some bad fuel. Its possible that with you trying to start the bike so much fouled a plug or two.
