You might want to check the engine with a screw driver at the flywheel gear ring before you get shook up about the engine. Or put a socket on the crank pully bolt to spin the motor a little. If it won't turn like that the engine is stuck. The GM starters will seize up and corrode from sitting so that you think the engine is stuck, but it's actually the starter that won't work.
