I have recently acquired a Singer 476 as my really old Singer doesn't even have zig zag. Unfortunately the bobbin case won't budge. I am very new to this whole sewing malarkey and don't totally understand the original manual. It also doesn't say anything about this problem. I will have to continue using my old baby for now.

Make sure your machine is in sewing mode, not bobbin-winding mode. If you don't have the instruction manual, you can download it online, many times for free.
Hi. Thanks, I've checked that. I have the original manual and read it cover to cover. I'm thinking that something has seized but the needle bar moves perfectly
You say that you have the original manual and that should be some help.
Did you look at pages 61 & 62? Both pages are dealing with the bobbin.

Since this is a new machine to you it may be more beneficial to have someone do a good cleaning job just to be sure everything is in working order. I know this will be expensive but unless you got a guarantee that everything worked this may still be your best step.
After a complete cleaning you should have a nice machine that may never need more than just regular cleaning/oiling.
There are several YouTube videos on this subject but they may not be on this exact machine.
