Usually there is a safety interlock mechanism that requires you to depress the brake before shifting from park. Have this checked by a mechanic to be sure it is working before tearing into your tranny.
no
If the shifter will not move you have a mechanical or electric issued with the shifter. If the shifter does move you may have low fluid or a failed transmission.

I'm trying to find where the dip stick for transmission fluid on a 1997 Ford aspire is located
The ( 1996 ) Ford Aspire Owner Guide shows that Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the automatic and manual transaxles ( transmissions )
If your Toyota has a manual transmission, the fluid will be put in by removing the gearshift, and literally pouring the fluid into the cavity under the shifter.
The automatic transaxle fluid dipstick is between the engine and the battery ( the manual transaxle does not have a dipstick )
If you cannot move the shifter out of the park position then you have a problem with the shifter cable or the brake safety lock. If you can move the shifter to the drive position, and it doesnt go in gear then you are a few quarts low on transmission fluid
