this is in neutral, brakes off, front wheels off the ground, calipers bled off, no the car hasn't been driven yet it was brought to me because it wouldn't start after clutch was replaced, when i went to have it towed i noticed it wouldn't move yes the oil level is fine

Check the CV shafts. Could be inner joints are dislodged causing the shaft to be seized.
