Noob here who could really use some help.

I was riding in my neighborhood yesterday, and down shifted to come up to a stop and the bike locked up on me.  Wouldn't shift, or roll at all even with just the clutch pulled in.  Started up but when I would try and put it in gear the whole bike would sink down for a second and then stall.  Got it towed to my place and then later I tried it again and it magically shifted into gear.  I've been too scared to ride it though, in case this happened on a busy street.  I know it is due for an oil change, along with new rear brake pads and brake fluid.  The only thing I can think is maybe the heat made the rear wheel lock and because I couldn't move it it wouldn't shift.

Any help an advice is greatly appreciated.  Really hoping its not a big transmission issue.

Bike is a 78 750f if that helps with anything.  TIA
