You do not specify a brand, but whatever serves as a pawl for the drive mechanism has seized and will not release to allow rearward movement.

Can a Briggs and stratton self-propelled lawn mower be pulled backwards even with the engine shut off?

I've never owned a self-propelled mower, but I would think there would be a lever to engage the wheels for self-propulsion. If the lever is in neutral. I would think you would be able to pull the mower backwards on all four wheels. If there is no lever and the mower is self-propelled at all times, you would have to raise the wheels that are propelled in order to pull the mower backwards.

Why doesn't Honda 21 lawnmower self propelled mower won't self propel?

Had same issue with one of the wheels not turning - removed the rear wheel and found that the pawl was stuck, There is a small spring that pushes the pawl out in forward motion and re tracks when the mower is pulled backwards. The pawl can become stuck in allowing the axle to turn but not the wheel.
