First you have to be sure the battery is fully charged.
Then remove the spark plugs and see if the engine will turn over freely.
If not , there may be some engine damage internally.
If it spins over easily without the plugs in it, it is not seized.
Did you hear an kind of chirping noise before it stopped?
If so, look into the oil pump system for possible fault and not pumping oil through the engine. Cam position sensor housing may be involved.
