I am down here in Texas in my 2011 ram power wagon 5.7, and just last night I got stuck in a ditch when trying to retrieve a friend. 3 feet of snow as the road and ditch were a snow drift. 20 degrees outside. truck was running fine with no problems prior. After being jerked 4 times rather hard I broke free, but on the last jerk my truck died, and will not start back up. I had a friend plug into it to read any codes it may have (though my dash never indicated there was any problem) the reader came back with P0562 (which is low system voltage). My questions are-
Could the jerking caused a low system voltage?
Could the jerking caused another issue that is not showing up that will prevent it from starting?

Maybe broke something off on the battery?

Could be a bad ground, or if the battery wasn't strapped down tightly, could have jarred a connection loose during the recovery.

Maybe the inertia switch for the fuel pump If ram used one. That’s my best guess from long distance.
