You should be able to rotate the starter shaft by hand. If you can't then it is probably seized mechanically. If you can but it doesn't rotate when connected (correctly) to a battery then it is shot electrically. Check the brushes to see if they are OK and the commutator to make sure it is reasonably clean. If they all check out, it is likely a winding problem.
