engine will not rotate

no I did not try to turn it first, I tried to start it with the spark plugs out and the compression checker in the spark plugs place, but the engine would not rotate or start so I looked in the haynes manual and it said to try and turn the engine with a socket wrench and that is when the engine would only turn so far clock wise and so far counter clock wise. and if it turned over I was going to compression check it, but you said it could be a stuck valve? how would you check it? with a light looking into the spark plug hole and if it is a stuck valve would I have to just remove the valve cover and fix it or the whole head
