that's not true. Any vehicle will "warm up" as long as the engine is running. Does not matter whether its at idle "running at a stop" or driving around town. The olders cars (1995 and beyond) require about 5min of warm up before drving. Cars now days don't require any. You can fire them and drive it like you stole it!

Why does your auto transmission stop moving the car after it warms up if you turn off engine and restart it moves about 300 to 400 feet then stops again?
It is because of how fast the car idles. When you start the car it is idling high and when the engine warms up it slows the idle to about 650 RPMs and the torque converter in your transmission is slipping and not moving you forward at that low an RPM. what causes the torque converter to slip? CAn it be a sensor problem?

Make sure the radiator fan is turning on when the engine warms up. When it's moving, air is blown across the radiator, but when it's NOT moving, there isn't any air moving to cool the radiator so you need a fan to be working. It SHOULD work from a temperature sensor.
