Yes it should turn freely. If you ran without oil it's probably locked up.

Yes if its on solid then there is a issue with your security system. Most likely a bad iginiton switch. The only way to tell for sure is have your body control module scanned for codes. If you have a b3033 and or b2960 bad ignition switch.
