Unhappy can anyone solve my Z's Problems

All right guys just took a look at the 97 Z28 to start working on it! First off it does not crank!!!! The battery and starter are good but it wont crank on!!! It loses power instantly!!!! Problem 1..........Second I have water leaking somewhere from the bottom of my engine thats problem 2...... Now a little history about my car!!!!! 6 years ago my speed sensor went out on the car so it would not go into gear properly and would no go faster the 35mph!!!! I was about 60 miles from my house so I drove it home all the way like that!!!! Eventually the car over heated and the radiator cracked!!!! I finally made it home but the next day the car did not start!!! Not sure where to start but if some of you gear heads can help me out I can start troubleshooting the problem!!!! FYI the car will not even start if i give it a jump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you trun the car by hand. Is your motor seized?
