Default Seized Motor

Hey guys, went out to start the car the other morning and the started turn then snapped the mount off the motor block, went to turn the motor over by hand and it was locked up. All of this I understand, what confuses me is it showed no sign of doing this. when it was driving the day before everything was running like clockwork. No fault noises, gauge flux, anything, it park fine and everything the night before. This just happened this morning. I am going to pull the motor and pull rip it all apart, but any ideas as to what i am going to find or should look for?

Pull your dipstick out and see if there is water in the oil.. I've seen this happen a couple times to different people. IT shows no signs but they go to start it and it just locks up ..
