If overwinding has bound the spring or mechanism against itself then lubrication with WD-40 or similar penetrating oil plus gentle prodding at bound parts and cogs, lifting escapement catches, will let it restart. If overwinding has pulled one end of the mainspring loose you need to reshape or recut and reshape that end so as to catch and hold on to the gear mechanism end or the winding key end, then wind it up. If neither of these explanations makes sense to you, you need a repairman. A local jewelry store may be able to help locate one.

If it has truly been over-wound, the mainspring has been broken. You will need to take it to a jeweler (as in jewelry maker) for repair, Sometimes only the weld is broken and it can be re-welded. If the mount is broken it can sometimes be re-welded. If the spring itself is broken, the jeweler will have to make another.

Before spending any money, I would try to get to the mechanism and gently make the escapement move by hand. once it makes a few clicks it may start off by itself.
