Eggraid, it sounds like the wheels are O.K.
It's only the back wheel that will spin one way - due to the freehub.
Try - Move the front derailleur to the small ring and drop the chain onto the bottom bracket shell.
Now the cranks should spin very freely.
Put the chain back on and, with the back lifted, turn the cranks and it should be easy by hand. Move the gears and try each one in turn.

Ride hard or ride home alone!
