Most likely your Dryer has a motor that uses a starting circuit that is operated by a centrifugal switch. Over a period of time the switch (called a starting switch) can fail for a number of reasons. The contacts can burn out. Dust or lint can cause the contacts not to close. The springs or bi-metal contacts become weak and do not allow the starting windings in the motor to function.
Depending on the make and model of the dryer and the motor you may find that the switch or the motor will need replacing. I would suggest a motor replacement unless you are quite skilled at replacing internal motor parts.

if the motor that runs the drum has a capacitor start, the capacitor may be out. Usually best to just replace the motor. You may want to replace the belt at the same time, and then you will have no problems for a long time.

Sounds like the belt is worn or that there is something causing the drum to turn too hard. There are bearings and rollers that support the drum and it should turn freely. It could be the motor but they usually last for years. I would look first at the belt and the drum supports.

You have a worn spot in your dryer belt. Remove belt and take to Lowe's for replacement.

You may be loading it to heavy, maybe the washer isn't getting all the water out of the clothes and making them heavy

It is probably the gears in the motor, they are not gripping.
