Check fluid level with engine warm in park, also check linkage from shifter to transmission casing.
Low transmission fluid will cause the vehicle not to move. Try filling the fluid and see if it works. good luck

Are you asking the cause of the leak or cause of the not moving problem. If your fluid is low that may be the problem right there. YOU CAN BURN OUT A TRANSMISSION BY NOT KEEPING FLUID FULL!!!
