    You my friend have probably broken a rod. Therefore, you will not have any compression, and the engine will turn over very easily. I know with oil at $112. A barrel it is high, but you need to keep a check on the oil. You could either put in a new rod, or have it done by a shop. Then less likely would be the valves stuck, but I would vote on the connecting rod to the piston.
