It sounds like you have a blocked vent on the fuel tank or the tank was over filled and parked in direct sun. Check the oil to see if it smells of gas. If a float was stuck some of the fuel may have leaked into the motor, it can hydraulically lock the flooded cylander. Remove the plugs to see if any are wet.
If you have fuel in the oil , change it. The fuel will dilute the oil and make it unsuitable as a lubricant. There is also a potential to blow up the bike.
I had an old suzuki that would occasionally do the same thing. The problem on it was the vacumn activated fuel valve stuck open once in a while. Replacing the diaphram in the fuel valve solved that problem.
