Did you park it last time, and now it's stuck? Or did it start acting up in the field, you got it home, and now it's stuck?
If it's the first case, it was fine and now is stuck, it's most likely something mechanical. From a nut dropped down by a squirrel blocking a valve or piston to something in the fan shroud. Moisture lockup is possible as well, but not as likely. Unless you've parked it in the rain with the air filter off. These are all pretty easy fixes with minimal costs.
If it's the latter, it was running badly and brought home, it's much more likely oil starvation. Could also be overheating. Remarkable how well mice block out the air passages with fluff. The repair cost is normally quite high, making engine replacement more worthwhile. If it's an overheated seizure, you might get by with just a piston and ring replacement.
