Did you turn the gas off when you parked it?
Twice I have forgotten to turn off the gas when I parked my M. The gas over-powered the float in the carb and ran directly into the cyclinder. (I have since replaced the carb.) Being a liquid, it will not compress. The result is that the cyclinder under compression cannot move.

Let it set while you change the oil and filter -- you may have gas in the oil. After an hour or so, put the plugs in and try starting it.
