Anything in the trans that would give zero movement would probably make some noise if it's turning. A broken chain would likely be visible through the hole it made in the case. It sounds to me like a complete clutch failure such that no rotation is transfered to the trans at all. I've seen this when the clutch disc shears right off the hub. After a few munutes, everything that's going to get ground up is gone and it may get very quiet.
HOWEVER, when it happened to me, it was because of resistance to rotation in the trans due to a major problem. It could well be that something is so seized up in the trans that the clutch couldn't take it. Pulling the clutch cover and then the clutch would be my first move.
