The bobbin winder may have seized and one way of freeing it off is to put some wd40 oil on it, just a drop, put an electric drill over the spindle and turn the drill on slowly this usually cures the problem, if you can start the machine without turning the handwheel it is usually because the takeup lever is at the top and the thread is strong enough to hold the machine back, you should always start with the needle in the fabric
