Geez Dude
that smoke is coming from the rubber wheel of your starter box. It's melting while trying to move your flywheel.
As for the engine, your piston is stuck at top dead center, which is common for new engines.
Take a screw driver pry your fly wheel loose, then heat the engine up with a blow dryer to about 80°C and then try to start it again.
When starting, put your finger to close the exhaust tip for a few seconds to pump fuel into the engine.
