Having played around with lawn mower engines for close to 60 years now, I agree with asphaltgambler.
I'd take the plug out, take the blade off and pull on the starter rope to see how it sounds spinning.
If it still 'clunks', it probably bent the rod, IMO.

The wood druff key times the magneto for ignition purposes for those not familiar with these engines.
