Viking won’t crank.

Hi everyone, new to this site as of yesterday. If I posted this wrong I apologize. I spent all night and morning scrolling threw it trying to see if anyone had a similar issue to what I’m having. Long story short, I purchased a 2014 Viking 700 off a guy for what I thought was a decent price because it supposedly only needed a new starter. Well I ordered the starter and the start relay as a kit slapped it on hopping she would fire up but nothing still. It makes one single click noise and doesn’t do anything else. So I hopped on here followed the manual a bit and went threw it as best I could with my lack of knowledge on these. I read the thread that talked about faulty grounds and burnt wires, went threw the fuses and couldn’t find anything obvious. My best guess is that the engine is seized, I hope it’s not but it is what it is. The reason I think this is the case is because I pulled the plug and tried spinning the cam bolt and I couldn’t get it to budge, I put it in gear and tried spinning the tires and still nothing. Idk if this is the correct way to test for this or not but I’m just grasping at any straw I can get ahold of. Any help would be so appreciated, I really don’t know what else to do at this point.
