You may need a power seat coupling

If your motor is spining look down between the transmission & where the motor mounts. Should be a solid hour glass design that is designed to break. Problem is with old age some times they just break.

I have no idea where to start

If you can tape that coupling back together to get the seat to move so you can pull it out that is the easiest. If not you can loosen up the 3 7mm Screws on the motor & remove it. What ever you do be careful with the plastic transmission. The rebuilt units are expensive & used are tough to find in good shape.
how would you suggest that I get to the motor
would removing the seat be the best option
is there any tips on how to remove the seat
my seat is set to the rear of the track so I think it will be hard to get to the bolts in the back

If it is to the rear & the front is up it is easy. Easier if the seat is out though.
Here are a few tricks I have used over the years.
Dewalt battery With a junk yard lead spliced in. Great for moving tracks with no power. I call it the Weaver generator.
Crazy glue your coupling together for the move. Do not sit in the seat while doing this. It will not hold up. Duct tape or electrical tape will work in a jam on a coupling. Once again do not sit in the seat while moving.
Drill with a junk yard cable. Only if you can acess the cable to the track.
in your case do the back screw first. This is the hardest screw to get to.
Loosen the motor & install new power seat coupling.
re attach the back screw first.
If you can only access the front bolts loosen them up & remove. You can rock the seat back. Just don't snap the tracks.

Looks like a trip to the bone yard for another seat track. 😢jamon 8 said:
