First, what's the model and year of your car?
On older cars with carburated systems, vapor lock can happen. However on fuel injected models, the fuel system is a high-pressure recirculating system. Vapor lock, according to the manufacturers, cannot happen.
But should you have a vapor lock, it only prevents your engine from getting fuel. It does not prevent your engine from cranking over, and it does not cause your engine to lock up.
As far as your engine being locked up, since we here at the forums are not able to personally examine your car, have a reputable mechanic look at it. Having a locked up engine is normally pretty serious. I hope this helps.
