it's probably hydro-locked. pull all the spark plugs and clear the cylinders with the starter. Definitely change oil before actually starting it.
Water is not compressible, unlike the air-fuel mixture that produces power. So, any water in the cylinder would prevent the crank from turning. Pull the spark plugs out and then try to turn the engine over. The speed of the engine with no spark plugs will blow much of the offending liquid out of the cylinder, unlike hand cranking it.
If you rolled it on its side, the engine may have run long enough to seize bearings. You can also bend rods and valves when an engine is locked up from water in the cylinder.
Good luck, you will need it.

I would file a lawsuit against the people who gave you a license and claim everything as direct effects of their negligence. Also ask for 5,000 dollars in punitive damages. 
Yes, and the term is actually incompressible, for future reference.
