Tou have a broken or loose deck belt. Not an easy DIY but medium and doable. Check the belt in the deck too (the one that makes both blades spin at the same time. This belt likely needs to be changed too.

Does it crank? There are a myriad of issues to check
Dead battery Bad battery connections Safety switches not all in right setting (like a PTO/mower deck turned on that needs to be off for starting, or a brake pedal not pressed, or a seat not sat on) Bad solenoid Bad fuse Bad relay Bad starter switch
More details can narrow it greatly. Have you tried jumping it? Do you get noise when you turn the key? Was it an all of a sudden problem, a growing intermittent one, have you tested the voltage of the battery or tried charging it? Etc.
Check that the blade brake is disengaging. Slip belt off blade spindles and check that they spin freely. Check underside of deck for clogged grass, ropes, wire, etc.
Check for a weak battery. On some lawn tractors the mowing deck is started by an electric switch, and when the deck is engaged it pulls all the remaining power from the battery thus robbing the engine of the current it needs.
A FEW THINGS TO LOOK AT ARE ,1THE PULLY SHIELDSMAKE SURE THEY AREN'T BENT TO CLOSE TO THE PULLEY'S.2 THE PULLEY BEARING'S MAY BE WORE OUT AND TO BREAK .3LOOK UNDER THE DECK TO MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T GET SOMETHING TRAPED IN THE CUTTING DECK.HOPE THIS HELPED.
