Although that engine is out of my FSM range...
just from being a long time mechanic I really doubt that that much diesel purge could have compromised the oil so much and so fast that that caused the engine to seize... for instance by taking away the lubrication from the bearings.....
So keep looking before panicking...
Only attempt to turn the engine over with a torque wrench applied to the front of the crankshaft... BY hand........ and report the amount required... or if it is totally seized...

ALSO.... check your radiator to see if you have lost any coolant...

Put another car with a hot exhaust next to this car....
pull the dipstick out and drip on the hot exhaust pipe... if it sizzles... it has water in it.. if it blows the hood off the car it is diesel purge...
just kidding about the latter...
