why the crank, pistons, and accessory belts all turns, but the camshafts do not.

tried turning the motor over at the crank pulley, and the cam gears do NOT move at all. then i turned the camshafts over with an 11/16th wrench, and EVERYTHING moved, and timing marks line up. zero compression when i cranked the motor with the key. put screwdriver on top of piston, watched it dance all over, so the crank is spinning (no camshaft movement, no valves opening = 0 psi). not getting spark out of coil B, but that's more than likely because of my P0340 CEL, camshaft position sensor, sensing it's not moving, thus giving no spark.

i'm tearing apart the front of the motor in the AM. anyone want to take a guess?
