If it spins and has compression, do u mean it cranks? If it cranks then the starter is good. Check the coil pack maybe it crapped out. Usually u can Check the bottom side for cracks. Also check and see if that belt is still attached. If that belt is broken check and make sure it didn’t damage the cranks sensor
