From your description it could be the main spring is broken, or there is a gear and or bushing failure. You will have to give the watch to a place that can service your watch. If you contact Tossot customer support they can advise you.
the problem is the air spring on the balance wheel it can be 1 or 2 things wrong spring stuck together with oil spring got crossed or if it's been neat a magnet, needs jeweler repair shop
A self winding watch will run for 2-3 days if it is not worn (they thrive on being used) and it sounds as if you have not been using it; is this the case?
It could be that the winder does not operate on the spring (some watches don't), so to wind it up you need to activate the self winding mechanism.
You can do this by gently swinging the watch from side to side for a few minutes. This will simulate the normal operation when it is being worn.
If you continue to have trouble with it stopping, it could be that it needs cleaning. I had a similar problem with a watch I had some years ago.
If it is the eta 2824-2 model. When you say the hands don't turn, I take it it does not work? its an automatic so needs wrist/ hand movement to wind the rotor. You can manually wind the watch by simply turning the crown (without pulling the crown out) Try doing this first.
