Rear motorcycle wheel locked up?

Ok so i recently got a Honda CG 125, its been sat inside for about a month now as i haven't been able to use it because i haven't done my CBT yet. I went to move it today and for some reason the rear wheel has locked up, it moves a little bit either way but then it suddenly stops, i have no idea what has happened so any help/ solutions would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance

Update:

Holding the clutch doesn't work, thanks anyway

Update 2:

i don't think its anything to do with the brakes as the wheel moves freely a little bit and then stops but if i apply the brakes the wheel doesn't move at all

    You might be in gear, and your clutch handle might not be tight enough so you cant pull it and shift. Just move shifter all the way down untill it stops and then lightly click it up one time

    Do not, under any circumstances, spray WD-40 on your brakes – it will not free seized brakes and will contaminate the pads/shoes.

    I cannot offer anything other than being in gear, the clutch plates can bind together if a bike is left for long enough, if you are sure it is in neutral try gently kicking over the starter (with the bike on a centre stand with the wheel in the air) – you are not trying to start the bike just a check – if it all moves smoothly put it into second, start the bike with the clutch in, raise the revs and release the clutch, this should jolt it loose. As long as the rear wheel is in the air it will not move anywhere, so you have to kick it while standing beside the bike.

    If the bike is in nuetral, and the clutch doesnt free it up either, its got to be either your clutch plates are frozen, or the motor (or transmission) may be seized. Pull the spark plug and put a couple of teaspoons of oil in the cylinder, and let it sit overnight. After it sits, try rocking the bike back and forth to see if it rolls the motor over. If it doesnt, raise the rear wheel off the ground, and try using a breaker bar and socket, and turn the motor over by hand to make sure its not frozen.

    THE POLICE LOCK THE WHEELS NOW, TO STOP YOU RIDING BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CBT, once you have a CBT pass, the police will release the wheel for £100, you may find that your bike have been ridden as well, by the police, they check and double check these bikes under health and safety, to ensure the bike meets the road standards of the uk, they ride but at high speed to ensure that when you have your CBT, that it is capabler of doing 125mph on a built up area for charity, it may be listed on ebay, but don't worry the police do this to catch ebay thieves that buy bikes and change here mind at the last moment, then they do "mash up manurer" to test if the bike is third party only insured, and the bike needs "pavement testing" this is a practise commonly used by new recruits to the motorcycle world, if you are that scared of motorcycling, "ride home on the pavement" all bikes are now finger print tested, to see if they have been used in hold up at petrol stations, Girls bike? indeed 9 out of 10 thefts of motorbikes was not infact to do with theft, but because the bikes was "girl bikes" and made a mysterious disappearance, liberated to save the owners from embarrassment, by the boys from the other street, CBT? COMMUTER-BOOT-TEST, this is where 10 riders assemble one morning with a instructor, and they are taught how to boot cars, because they are now bikers, not plastic spastics with there three piece suit chairs in a metal box, that they call "grow up possession of a car" that use the space between two rows of houses, as a fair ground attraction, you will be taught to "boot any car that looks a theory hazard" Then after a couple of years every one ditches the bike for cars .

    The bike is in gear. Either the clutch is not working properly (needs adjustment, most likely), or there remains friction in the clutch, even with the lever pulled in, because the engine oil is cold: Clutch plates tend to stick together if unused for a while.

    Remove the drive chain - that will eliminate or confirm if the engine is at fault.

    Loosen the brake adjuster - someone may have tightened it as a joke.

    Remove the rear wheel and inspect the wheel bearings.

    Possibly the chain has bound up? Try WD-40 on the sprocket and chain. keep rocking it back and forth. That is about all it could be unless the clutch isn't releasing. A sure fire test would be to remove the cahin and see if it rolls freely. You will narrow it to the clutch or tranny if the chain is free.

    have you got a lock on the rear wheel, or through the sprocket?lol have you changed your spark plug? check that the new one is not too long. or could even be a badly damage wheel bearing.
