From our description the first thing I'd try is to see IF the engine can be turned over by the big nut on the crank shaft end.
Because it does kind of sound like the engine has seized.
sorry.

Hard to understand your post .If not a seized engine as suggested , check wiring in area where welding was carried out . Could also get burning smell from cooked battery due to overcharging alternator . Try another battery or a jump start .
