All the oil has drained out from the rings and the pistons are not sealing the combustion chamber. Remove the injectors or glow plugs, Squirt some engine oil into the combustion chamber and swing the engine over a few times. Refit the glow plugs or injectors. It should start. You should never let the engine stand for so long.
