Hmmm, that is a bummer, I would drain the engine oil and remove the oil filter, replace with new and refill the oil. Then get a large breaker bar and force the engine to move back and forth, this should break the engine loose and you should be okay.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
