Um, as in it cranks unusually slow, or not at all?
Did the starter crap out on top of everything else?

Is the engine locked up? (spin the crank by hand or with tools)

Is an accessory pulley locked up? See if the adjuster pulley for the AC belt locked up, or if the AC compressor pulley locked up (if so, just remove the belt and see if that allows it to rotate).
