1- the camshaft lost lubrications and has seized
2-the injector/s is/are leaking making the piston hydrolock
3-the crankshaft is seized.
4-funny as it seems, maybe an alternator, idler pulley, water pump or other accessory might be seized restricting free movement of the crankshaft pulley.
5-if it was a manual transaxle equipped car, the clutch or transaxle maybe locked up
6-hopefully, not your pistons seized in the cylinder bore.
