Chain saw pull cord not working!

Yes I did a Search and got over 900 listings.
When I pull on the cord the cord doesn't move. No spinning of the motor to start the saw. Dumb me I think I was supposed to oil that mechanism which I don't remember doing figuring that oil in the fuel did that.
So now what?
It's a Husqvarna 136. I need to look at the manual and the saw to see how it comes appart.
Meanwhile Any thoughts??

Make sure the chain brake is NOT engaged.....if engaged the engine won't turn over and start, many think it's engine seize.
The chain brake is the black plastic knuckle guard on top by the top handle, pull this guard back to the handle until you hear it click and the cord should now pull easier and should beable to start.
If not, have a dealer look at it.
