I have a 89 jeep cherokee 4x4, and one day i drove it to work which took 45min, and it drove fine. i come out after work and start it up and it starts squeeling from the motor, i come to see that my belt isnt even moving, only my crank shaft pulley is spinning and all other pulleys are frozen, while the belt is still connected, i have had a bit of a leak from my water pump, could ib be the water pump pulley that froze up? what could it be? keep in mind the jeep still starts right up.

You need to pull the belts off and spin each pulley by hand feeling for a seized one or rough feeling bearings.

I found out it was my ac compressor that I never use. Can I bypass by buying a smaller belt?

You might b4e able to if nothing interfers in routing. Somtimes when it does there are bypass bracket and pulley set ups available.
