Thank you
Have you tried to use a socket on the crank pulley to see if you can move the crank by hand. Yank the plugs and give it a try. You could squirt some oil in the cylinders and see if you can rotate the engine over and over several times. If you free it up by hand, then I would see if the starter will turn the engine over without the spark plugs. By doing so it should build up some oil pressure thus lubricating engine parts.
