What occurred just prior to the problem? From the description I would try removing the serpentine belt, then see if you can turn the crankshaft pulley by hand. If you can now rotate it, then go to each of the items the belt powers and see if one is locked up. If it still will not turn, then it's likely time for a replacement engine.
