If it's turning over, it's not seized. Does it turn over slow and then start or just turn over?

How much water did you get it in?

Have you tried squirting some oil into the cylinders?

try some wd 40 in the cylinders be generous with the wd in there and without the plugs in there crank it over.. you may have bent some valves or push rods or even worse a connecting rod if it was revving hi , replace the plugs. also check water is not in your distributor check the plugs and wires along and points. accidents happen so nobody's judging anyone :/

and on additional note idk about the breathers on the tank water may have gotten in to one or both so if its not starting that could definitely be a culprit and if you find it is flush the gas out put fresh gas and change the fuel filter
