It won't move: The contour of the deltoid changes it actually looks Square and of course it won't move because it's locked out of the joint

Not subtle: It is definitely not a subtle thing. You would have extreme pain and would be unable to move your arm.

No: You would know about a dislocated shoulder. Can be neuromuscular problem, spinal problem, postural problem. Should be checked out if a concern.
