If the engine is turning and pulley/belt is not-sounds like its slipping check the belt tensioner

Nope. That`s not the problem. Crankshaft pulley isn`t turning either. If that`s not turning then there is a problem with the crankshaft. So what could it be?

Your engine is seized-up could be due to coolant in the cylinders or a main bearing is welded on
