Whirlpool awz dryer heats but does not tumble?

Whirlpool awz dryer heats but does not tumble. Timer dial clicks down & element is heating but the drum does not turn. I can't turn it by hand either (though I don't think I ever could). Is this fix a DIY job or have I got a dead motor on my hands? This appliance worked fine until I put it in storage for 6 months due to a house move. During transport it was tipped on its back (gently) - could I have dislodged something?

If anyone has the same issue; the drum had come off its bearings during transit. I was able to lift it back onto these & its running as normal now.
