Crankshaft won't spin after BSE

Well I did the BSE. My car is in time and everything. Here is the issue.

I dropped my oilpan to clean it out. I was going to spin the crank so I can get the pan back on easier. It is kinda hitting the back of the crank. If I turned it I could slide it in no problem.

So I go to turn it. It does not budge AT ALL. Clockwise Or Counter Clockwise. Not even 1mm . Nothing.

I checked the stickshift. It is not in gear. I went ahead and went through all the gears and none of them are stuck I don't think.

What could of happened? What would be causing the crank to not spin at all?

Are you trying to turn it by hand or with a ratchet and socket? By hand....good luck. Put socket and breaker bar or ratchet on the crank nut and try it.

I have the nut on it and I am turning it with a wrench. its the same wrench i used to turn it before. before it turned pretty freely. now not even a budge.

take your spark plugs out and try then mate theres too much compression in the cylinders to crank.
