Drain the coolant, pull the exhaust, the radiator and the cylinder head and cylinder. I'd bet you find gouges and melted/welded rings on the piston. You may need a hammer to get it apart too.
Measure the damage to the cylinder, this will dictate whether you need to replace/re-plate or just hone it. Then, you get the piston kit to match the bore size you end up with.
If the piston/cylinder is intact, and it still won't spin, the crank/rod will need a rebuild.

How would i measure the damage? Wish u were here to look at it. I have no idea when it comes to the guts of a bike motor.
