You've isolated the problem very nicely.
The clutch is sticking.
Remove the RHS side-cover, then the lock-screw and clover nut. (Count the number of turns on the clover nut to aid re-assembly.)
Next, take off the clutch top plate with spring and try rocking the bike back and forth again. Also, a bit of jiggling of the clutch driven gear will help. Let us know if it frees up.
Sorry, that wasn't quite right - the clutch is jammed OR the engine is seized.
Remove the countershaft cover, fit a socket to the countershaft nut and see if the engine turns over at all. (With the clutch lever out, (engaged).)
