Best guess, your Transmission is shot. You'll need to call a mechanic and tow it to the shop to get it checked out
it will drive but when in reverse it wont move
A car that won't move when in reverse could indicate a problem with the transmission. It could also indicate a problem in the gear selector.

If you have an automatic transmission, it probably has a forward clutch/band problem.

I got VW sharan 2007 Auto Diesel cannot drive in Reverse while car cold after driveing hlf a Mile forward it fineplease help its been like this over a year
why reverse wont go in on 2004 town car
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.
Drive...
