2) the damper is broken (engine turning but not driving belt)
3) the belt is slipping
If it is 3, you should be able to see the damper turning.
Well of that list 2 and 3 won't prevent it to start, don't need the zero belt to start the car and the crank sensor is on flywheel. So your looking at bad starter or seized engine.
