Is it the kick starter that is locked up?If not your piston my be seized try turning the crank.

Take spark plug out.Take side case off motor(if setting on bike it will be on your left side).This side case is what your foot will rub while your riding.After you take case off,(make sure bike is in neutral) and try to turn the round flywheel.If it doesnt turn then probably will need to be bored and piston kit if it does turn then we will have to try other things.good luck.Sorry if I'm explaining this like your a little kid but I dont know how much wrenching you have done.

yea if it sounded wierd b 4 locking up the probably new new piston and ring not expensive like the other guy said put it in neutral and try spining flywheel by hand if it doensnt turn theres your problem (new piston set) dont try to force it you can damage the cylinder wall further. take off the top cover of the engine and take a goo look at the piston and cylinder wall
