See video. Didn't hit any crazy bumps or anything, it's been inside for the last week and a half. When I walk the bike, the pedals start moving forward as if I'm pedaling. When I draw back the pedals, the chain doesn't go backwards, just sorta falls. Freewheel issue? Just recently rebuilt this Specialized Crossroads and itching to get it back on the road, so any help is greatly appreciated. [reposted since I forgot to attach video]
Pedals move with bike no matter what, chain falls when pulled backwards

I can’t tell 100%, but make sure the chain is routes correctly through the RD. I have experienced similar issues by packing too much grease into the hub which prevented the hub internals from disengaging.
replace freewheel.
it seems like your rear hub needs service. Does it do that as well when it’s right side up?
Rear hub needs service or replacement, there is too much drag/resistance.
