No, the engine's probably not turning because it's overheated and siezed.

If it's not turning it has seized. You may be able to rock it in gear to free it up but still wouldnt put oil in and drive it otherwise you may aswell buy new engine.

although you could be at that point anyway...

Take the plugs out and turn it over, should be amusing as water is projected from the bores.

Possible cause for the HG going. So it hasn't really been 'free' in the long run

No chance, as long as it was topped up with water that'd be well enough. The only real advantage of coolant in that respect and this weather is the fact it gives the water a slightly higher boiling point and works as a rust inhibitor. I was using water alone for about a year in the Corsa and no fan and it used to be totally fine.

Using straight water can lead to rust/corrosion.

But I doubt you'd see a head gasket going for that reason.
