Remove the vacuum supply hose nearest to the wiper motor and introduce about an ounce or so of Marvel Mystery Oil directly into the vacuum port going into the motor. Operate the mechanism by hand and you should notice things start to free up. Re-attach the hose and operate the motor with its vacuum source. That should help get you going again.

MAFCA mentions light machine oil in this link. 3 in 1 is a light oil. Sewing machine oil is another that works well. Just remember that whatever goes in there will end up in the engine.
