Sounds like its siezed to me!
Have you tried turning the engine over (clockwise) with a spanner on the crank pulley bolt?

Just to be sure, check the belt where it goes round the bottom pulley, it may have just stripped the teeth :idea:

It does look that way, but I would have expected it to make some serious noise just before it seized
