I have a predator 212 on my mini bike and i took the chain off and ran the engine at high speed for about 30 seconds WITHOUT the chain. And The Engine made a noise and then died out now it wont let me pull the cord, its stuck. Anybody know how to fix this and can explain how it happened??

It probably broke the rod. Pull the blower shroud off and see if you can turn the flywheel by hand either way.

Did it have oil in it??
Did it have shipping oil or the likes in it?
Either of those could have caused it to lock up.
Is the governor removed? Did you bypass it for a while?
You need to answer these questions before we can really sy what it was.

my bets on a bypassed governor tbh
Oh if you follow fhb's advice and counterrotate the flywheel.. and it DOES move..
and afterwards in both directions again:
"DO NOT START THE ENGINE UP!"
chances are something got stuck on the camgear..
now fell off and is waiting to lock it up back again the next chance it gets!
open the crankcase and see what's going on is the only save way to check..
especially if I'm correct and you bypassed the governor (or forgot to remove the tiny washer when you removed the governor)

I’m with Sid on this one, it’s time to open it up and see what is jamming it up.

Same.
Take a few pics of the innards of the engine. If a governor weight flew off, you might also have some cylinder damage, so try to look at the cylinder.
