The starter turns the flywheel which turns the crank. Doubtful its necssary, but, if the crank doesn't turn doing it by hand, it's seized.

take your plugs out and put oil down into it and then turn it over by hand. i put like wd40 and tranny fluid in my old car that was locked. it was sitting for about two years with out the hood on it and took the belt off it. took the plugs out and hand cranked it and it started to turn then i hooked up the battery and spun the shit out of it and then changed the oil and it started right up on the first try. smoked like crazy but it worked.
