hydrolocked?

It would take a pretty good amount of fluid to hydrolock. Did you spray injector holes with something to clean them?

Pull the glow plugs and crank it a bunch. Be ready for a mess though

and thats what i figured that there was some sort of lock on it .. but was not too sure is there a valve or drain somewhere

so you think there is just to much pressure from the fluid

Pull the glow plugs and crank. That's your drain.
You can't compress a fluid. When you have enough fluid to fill the space between the piston and head the motor will not roll over.

If you changed an injector on a cylinder pull that glow plug. It was assumed you changed all of them

This is why I like to drain the oil in the pan and then pull the injectors. Then roll engine over by hand,clean and inspect holes. Install injectors and turn over by hand again with glow plugs removed and then button it up. Undo the glow plug side hot wires before starting. First few cranks you just bump the key and then let her rip.
