If everything was ok when you laid it up and there were no pending mechanical faults then I would suspect some corrosion has developed in the barrel. This would form a barrier that the rings couldn’t pass. Another possibility, albeit I’ve never seen it on a small engine is that a mouse has crawled in and it’s blocking the piston!
