We don't get that model (thank God ) here in the States. The last Fiesta in the US was 1978 to 1980.
What does your repair manual have to say? A local public library should have a Chilton or Haynes manual, and that will give you photos and procedures.

check timing belt
I would check the timing belt sounds like it broke. You can remove the cap were you put the oil in and look at the valve train have someone try to start it and see if it moves. Or remove distributor cap and try to turn it over and see if rotor spins.
