This really sounds like an electrical problem. If your engine were seized, you would still have electrical power. Just the fact that you can't run a scan tool tells me this. As some have said, it could be your battery. Could also be a faulty ground, or something along those lines. Perhaps someone else can give some more info on the elec. system, I'm no guru on that.
Now, if you have lights, it could still be your battery. With just enough power to engage the starter but no enough to actually crank the engine. Assuming that as you described, I understand that you turned the key, it went "clank", and that was it. While it could be many things, and a seized engine is one of those things. I would start by pulling the battery and getting it checked, a simple easy place to start. If it's good under load test, then it's time for a carriage ride to the dealer. They said to drive it until something happened, well, something happened.

Ok, got in car, turned key to on position, turned key to run/start and it did start for mere seconds then I heard a clank and the engine stopped, no CEL or any warnings have popped up, I tried to start it back up and it just acts like there's something keeping it from wanting to crank. Battery is good, def not that.
