Default engine stored outside, motor locked up?

I bought a LS motor from spooledex, I go to turn the crank pulley to see if it's still straight, and the thing wont turn. He told me the motor is working and in good condition, and that it was stored outside for a couple weeks, with just a tarp covering it. Would this stop the crank from turning?
