My Nikon D90 is not getting start. I have checked my battery that is ok. Can anyone please tell me the error and solution ??

You said you were doing some night shooting. I suspect you may have done a long exposure? If so, the camera may take a while to write to the card. If you turned the camera off before it finished writing it is locked up for the moment. It happened to me.

What to do:

Look at the power button and you will see "Off", "On" and then a "Bulb" symbol. Rotate the power switch all the way over to the Bulb symbol and hold a few seconds. Turn the camera "Off". This should, as in my case, reset it and then reformat your card.

Also, check the wired remote to make sure it is not in the "Locked" position which will immediately open your shutter and hold it for as long as it takes y ou to figure it out. That makes for a very long exposure. If you then turn the camera off it has not completed writing this exposure to the card and will lock up basically and not power on or off.
