did you use the glowplugs? before starting they may be bad.

SOURCE: focus c-max non starter

if the starter is not turning the engine, then it is either a weak or jammed starter, or a siezed engine.....tap the starter with a hammer ( lightly )...while someone tries to start the engine...if nothing happens, then its the engine.......try a spanner on the pully of the flywheel, and turn manualy by hand, if it wont turn, then the engine has siezed

close, there is an emergeny fuel shutoff switch hidden in the trunk of these things burried under the carpeting, you probably have something resting on it OR water got on it and is shorting it out, my friend had a 92 taurus 3L and the switch was in the trunk, 14 inches off the trunk floor on the drivers side wall, should be a small **** in the carpeting you can push your finger through and feel it.
