Default Engine won’t turn over but keeps making a sound like it’s trying

Hello I have a 2005 Honda Civic lx I was driving it to Barstow yesterday when it started to over heat late at night on the freeway and now it just won’t starts would a blown head gasket or the hoses cause the car not to start or possibly maybe the cap on my radiator I don’t know

The number one problem with these engines is a blown head gasket so check for that.

but I don’t think a blown head gasket would stop a car from starting
