It means the starter might be dead. Take it off and have an auto parts store test it.

You should also have the battery tested as well.

Put the car in nuetral, and then see if you can turn the front pulley by hand. This will be even easier to do with the spark plugs out.

If the motor still turns, then remove and clean all the connections at the battery and the starter.

Also, to help get a rotary started, you can dump an ounce or two of Seafoam down the carb (if equipped) or use a turkey baster to shoot a little into the upper spark plug holes. This will get a flooded rotary going in no time flat...
