Starter bendix is stuck, you need to turn the engine backwards, some place the transmission into third gear and push backwards. I’ve not been able to do this at my age, I’ve loosen the starter and smacked the starter with a big dead blow hammer. Any grease or oil on the bendix spiral can make it stick, or a bent starter shaft can lock the starter
