If you physically can not move the gear shift lever into gear, it could be a problem with the shifter linkage or the transmission. If you can select a gear by moving the the lever which is attached directly to the transmission, it is the linkage. If the lever moves into a gear but the mower doesn't move, it could be a broken belt or a bad transmission.
Generally a parking brake system would be the parking brake lever (either a hand activated lever with a ratcheting lock and release lever, or a foot brake pedal with a ratcheting mechanism that releases when pushed to its maximum.), cables continuing from the parking brake lever to the rear drums, and the parts inside of the standard rear drum brake that are activated by pulling the cables. This system is used to prevent a car from moving when parked on an incline, or to prevent the transmission from jamming in Park which can happen when towing a load or parking a heavy vehicle on a hill.

Environmental factors, such as rust or corrosion, may have also played a role in its deterioration. Regular maintenance could have helped prevent this issue.
