probably not , if it was driven with low or no oil you have probably damaged the lower end , spun one or several rod and or main bearings , the pan needs to come off to determine the extent of damage , sorry

Suggested Repair
Unfreezing the crankshaft is unlikely after driving with low oil. Remove the oil pan to inspect for spun rod and/or main bearings and determine the extent of lower-end damage.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 2000 Ford Expedition said the vehicle was driven with low oil, will not start, and has a stuck crankshaft. They asked whether the engine could be unfrozen. The expert said that is probably not possible because low-oil operation likely damaged the lower end and spun one or more rod or main bearings. The oil pan needs to be removed to assess the damage.
