What is your question?
Crank shaft not turning, is that what's tarring up the drive belt on the outside edge and what's causing the pulley not to turn?
How long has your 2001 Mercury Sable had this problem?
One week

If the engine is running, the crankshaft IS turning. The engine cannot run without the crankshaft turning. The crankshaft is what the connecting rods to the piston ride on. No crankshaft, no engine running. The crankshaft pulley may not be turning if your harmonic balancer is separated. I would think, though, that another one of your pulleys is locked up. Remove the belt, inspect all pulleys for free play and wear.
