A bad flywheel can definitely cause the engine not to turn over. The flywheel has teeth. If the teeth are chipped or broken, then the starter can not engage to spin the engine over.

One of two things. Either your bendix is bad on your starter (best case) or you have a bad spot on your flywheel and the transmission has to come out. Try turning the motor by hand a quarter of a turn. if it will start after that once then your flywheel is bad. It it doesn't the it's probably the bendix. Good luck.
