There are several reason why this could be happening. There could be a linkage broke, a bad pump or just a bad transmission in general. Most likely the pump is bad or the transmission is bad.

Why wont my 1997 Ford Taurus wont go in reverse or start in drive?

For the Reverse problem, you could have low transmission fluid, or a bad transmission. For starting in drive, just about every modern car will not start when the transmission is in gear. They will only start in Park or Neutral. This is a safety feature to prevent the car from taking off into someone or something when started.
