I agree with Geoff.  Marvel Mystery oil is great for this kind of problem.
It is a great penetrating oil and a good lubricant.

However, take it slow.  Pour about 1/8 cup down each spark plug hole
and wait a week or so.  Repeat this over the next 6 weeks.  Then,  try to
turn the engine by hand with a bar and wrench on the crankshaft (plugs out).
If you're lucky it will break loose.  Good Luck!
