One way to tell if the engine is seized, remove the starter so it is out of the equation.
Sometimes a starter can jamb and lock the engine, but since it lost power running that is unlikely.
But once the starter is out of the way, reach in to the flywheel with a prybar and try turning the engine both ways. If it will turn just a little each way, good chance the engine is not seized.
If it will not turn at all with reasonable pressure, there is an engine problem, and it is a serious problem.
Any time an engine seizes to a stop under power, there will be considerable damage. Trying to do an inframe is recipe for disaster. Diesels are very unforgiving of shortcuts and are money devouring monsters if disrespected!
But... At this point, if it is seized, nothing to loose by tearing into it. Just take nothing for granted. Shrapnel is your enemy, getting it all out without a complete tear down is near impossible.
