Then when I press the button to engage the motor, the top does not move.
I'm thinking:
1. bad motor
2. bad switch
3. possible a blown fuse
4. Parking break relay problem (but considering the windows come down...)
Thoughts on what I should dig into? And can you help me understand how to dig into whatever you are going to tell me to do.
Thanks!!

You set the parking brake but is the parking brake light on the dash coming on?
Certainly check you fuse for the top.
Given you hear nothing tells me that there is a microswitch that is unhappy. Latch and unlatch top. There are two microswitches in the latch receptacle, one drops the windows and one is part of the top activation circuit. I doubt the motor just went bad.
