THIS,
or just stuck on the shaft , try tapping in in an outward direction and see if it will loosen up.

When that happens for me I try WD40 and it often cures the fault.
(Generally dried up old grease is the problem.)

New battery has post backwards to original ones, battery connected backwards causing starter to run backwards. Hope you haven't damaged the charging system.

Yes it had been running no problem. No problems. Hadn't replaced anything such as battery. Took starter off and two different friends helped me check it to discover it was spinning backwards.
