To do this you tip the mower on it's side on stable ground. Disconnect the spark plug lead and rotate the blade by hand whilst watching the shaft bolt. If the shaft is bent the bolt will move in a circle pattern.
To perform this test more accurately you need what's called a "dial indicator". A makeshift one would compose of a brick or any object that's 1/2 of the blade length. On top of that you place a pencil pointed to the edge of the shaft bolt. This gives you a reference point to watch while turning the blade.
You have probably bent the shaft of the engine. (Been there, done that!) This could mean the engine is not longer in working condition. Take the lawn mower to a qualified mechanic and they can tell you whether it can be repaired, or if you have a nice piece of scrap metal.
Take the vehicle to a qualified alignment shop, they will be able to tell you if your control arm is bent.
Jack it up and spin it.

Which ever one you think may be bent, Just take it out and roll it on a flat surface. If it is bent bad you will have a engine miss on that cylinder.
Take the grip off. If there is a green mark at the butt end of the shaft the shaft is stiff.
No. The most common way to tell if a frame is bent is if the roof is buckled.
Take it to an alignment shop.
Do a compression test.
If you read the label, it should tell you when the lawn is safe again for activity.
