There is no backup starter (pull rope)
For those that are interested, this is the exact bike I’m working on:

It’s the 58cc model
I’m guessing there’s no easy fix for this, right?

This quote indicates the engine is locked up. Possibly hydro locked from gas leaking into the cylinder from the carb. Another indicator of a leaking carb is the engine oil will smell like gas. Try cranking it with the spark plug removed.

If you watch the video in the link. The guy cranks it up and it idles without moving. So even if the rear axle was locked up it should still crank and idle. He did say you have to squeeze and hold the brake handle to start it.
Did you squeeze and hold the brake handle when you tried to start it?
Easy fix. Turn the engine over a few times with spark plug out to get fuel out of cylinder. Change the oil. Put spark plug back in. Fix the carb leak or turn the fuel off after riding. Or like I do on my riding lawn mower clamp the fuel line with a pair of vise grips.
