engine will not rotate

before I could even get a compression check the engine will not rotate, first I tried to rotate the crankshaft with a socket wrench and it turned only so far one way and so far the other way so I rotated it counter clock wise till it stoped and tried to start it. it would try to go and just stop at the certain part it stoped at clock wise. what could be wrong? has any one had this problem before and fixed it. and some one mentioned engine seize, what is engine seize and can it be fixed.
