    Umm, do you mean engine or transmission? Doesn't sound good. How's the oil and coolant levels? Bet they where low. I if they are good look at the transmission pump. Sorry.

    as mr know it all said flywheels or flex plates don't lock but they are connected to the engine, so you may have a bigger problem. try this first if you can access the flywheel with out taking out the starter, use a large screwdriver and see if you can turn the engine by hand, if you can it's not the engine it's the starter. however if it does not turn then your engine has seized

    Could you elaborate?

    Automatic transmissions don't have flywheels.

    Flex plate, sure, but they don't lockup.

    ADDED:

    Perhaps your engine is hydro locked?

    Click this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    It explains it very well.

    Too much to copy and paste into YA.
