Normally, I can read sentences that have no punctuations, but man, this is another level. Can you actually read what you just wrote? Did periods kill your family? Please, for the fudge's sake, install Grammarly.
From the best I can gather, I'd check the electrical problems first since you said that there is no cranking. That includes the battery, starter, wires, fuses, etc.
As for the rotor, I think there is a part of the shaft you can try to rotate to see if the engine turns. I don't think rotors can just randomly get stuck, though. Are those mechanics rotary mechanics? Most average street-side mechanics don't know rotaries.

I'm sorry about the bad grammar I didn't review it , but here it goes again to answer some of your questions. 1. The mottor won't give me no crank no start 2. The mechanic said that he has a lot experience with rotor engines 3. I check all the censors and relays 4. The started works good 5. He took the intake out and try manually to turn the engine and I won't happen he said that he doesn't know what could happen to the engine. Also he took the spark plugs out to c if the engine was completely flooded but the plugs were good. I know one person said the those engines don't get stuck but this is the case with this one, the mechanic said I may have corrosion inside the engine. So i don't know what else can I try because the engine never gave me sings of failure and This happen out of nowhere one day

That's kinda weird. So nothing happens when you turn the key to start, and you say all the electrical component checks out.
I think if the rotors really are stuck for some reason, then when you crank, the starter will try to spin the flywheel, which will also be stuck, so the motor will overheat itself and blow the fuse. You would hear something.
Rotary engines don't tend to corrode on the inside. Heard it tends to happen if you blow up the coolant seal and leave the car sitting for a long period of time.
