My 2016 Isuzu MU-X LST keeps showing a picture of a key, check system. And it won't start.

The car could be trying to trying to tell you that there’s something wrong with the key. So start with the basics. The most common cause for the key to not operate the ignition and security system (which is why the engine won’t start) is because the key’s battery has gone flat. Change it and see if that works. At the very least, try the second key (that should have come with the car) to see if it will operate things properly.

If not, then you have to start digging deeper, at which point the cause could be a glitch within the car’s body computer which is the brain that controls everything from the power windows to the central locking and immobiliser. If that’s the case, then an auto electrician is probably your best bet, but definitely check the key’s battery first.
