I mean, are you sure it doesn't turn at all?
What speed where you doing when you entered the water and locked? Lets assume you where going slow (not over 20 MPH)
If you are going slow and you hydrolock, thats what happens, it just hydrolocks, nothing bad happens inside cause the engine dies when it can not compress but your pistons, rods and valves remain fine, they just get "washed". The solution is just taking out the spark plugs, and crank the engine, if is too bad, then remove the Fuel Pump Fuse, and keep trying (that way you don't "hydrolock" again with gas). If you have lots of water in the intake manifold, you should remove all piping for the intake, remove the upper plenum, empty the water, check the lower plenum for water, remove it if you can, put the upper plenum back, and without piping, crank again. Also, check the exhaust, you might have water there, if the water was at the exhaust level, when the car dies, it actually sucks water into the exhaust, so you might wanna check that out too (remove exhaust all the way and empty the water if any inside). Good luck.
