Can you turn the shaft pulley by hand with the engine not running? If so your key is still there but broken off. Check all belts and see if they are ok or maybe has come off the pulley. Check belt tightness as well. Belt also could be worn out so it slips.
If your transmission is automatic on the drive axle, look for a small lever inside the frame and below the seat. It can be hard to find the first time. This lever disengages the drive inside the auto gearbox so the mower can be pushed by hand. If the lever is not not moved, pushing the mower also tries to turn over the engine making it impossible to move. With the lever moved accidentally the drive is disengaged and the mower won't move in either direction. The lever operates a flexible cable that comes out from the auto transmission.
Hi, it will be the switch on the seat activating as your body weight/position moves forward down hill. It is not a good idea to disable it, try moving the seat forward instead. Hope this helps, regards Phil.
I had the same problem so I looked under the mower and the belt that goes from the engine to the back of the mower was off so I pushed the clutch as far forward as I could and the belt went on it and it worked
