They've probably siezed up. You might have to take them apart and lube them up.  You're suppose to put them in the lock position once a month and drive around a few miles so they self-lubricate.  If this is not done, moisture gets in there and causes it to weld up with rust.

You could try and use some pliars and turn them to see what happens.

I got a frozen hub at the Pick-a-Part for $2.50
a little time, a wire wheel and some grease, good
as new, and a lot less that a pair of Warns.

Stock hubs are good, stick with them.
