Ken, I'd first see if the engine is free or seized. If it is free, check the three obvious things:
Fuel supply, Spark, Timing >From the comment about the starter, you might just have an electrical problem. Is the starter turning and just doesn't engage the flywheel but continues to spin, or does it engage the flywheel and suddenly stop? If it does the latter, you might have jumped timing. That might indicate a timing chain or gear problem.
