Sounds like its seized alright! Will it turn over if you push it in gear? Probs top end off and have a look. Start with the plug to see if any tell tale signs of damage

65mph on a DT125??? That sounds like your were thrashing the knackers out of it, are they made to go that fast? You've probably killed it!

A good DT will pull 85 mph in still conditions if derestricted so 65 is not thrashing it at all.if you've got low compression or the motor is seized then get the head off. The DT is an easy to work on bike but carb and air box can be a p.i.t.a access wise .
