first problem, is your grammar.

Second, have you attempted to look at anything? With no information we can't tell you what's wrong or what may be wrong

In order for an engine to lock up due to it overheating, it has to run for a while that way, and in the process, blew a head gasket and probably hydrolocked the engine. Unless you get the car for dirt cheap and plan on replacing the engine, I wouldn't bother with it.
