...technically, no you won't need to replace the motor. What will happen is that all the moving parts that depend on fresh oil for lubrication will suffer from its absence, with increased wear (same if there is oil but it's overdue for replacement due to thermal breakdown or contamination). But technically assuming that it won't turn over, a motor rebuild would probably be in order. Not certainly because it might not turn over for other reasons.
It's a lot cheaper to get a working motor and have it put in your car, though, because a motor can have hundreds of thousands of miles on it and still run. A rebuild can easily cost $2k or more to have it done by a competent mechanic.
