95 Ford ranger 2.3 will turn over but timing belt not moving

I'm new here but my 95 Ford ranger 2.3 lost oil pressure, and I fixed the problem but now my timing belt is not moving when I crank it over. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide more details if needed. Just want to get some info before I tear into it.

Maybe the key to the timing gear on the crankshaft either came off or sheared off.

Oil pump is driven by the timing belt, the AUX gear
What did you fix to get oil pump working again?

Yes, while not at all common, the woodruff key in the crank gear that holds it in time, can shear off, or the belt has broken at the bottom

The oil filter busted when I wrecked and caused it to lose oil pressure. I fixed all of that and took timing belt off everything spins except for timing gear on crankshaft pulley. I'm currently pulling the crankshaft pulley off to examine woodruff key on crankshaft timing gear. I believe that is my problem!!
