If the tires won’t turn, but the car will go into gear, I would first check that the parking brake is not enabled, keeping the vehicle from moving. If that is not the case, I would then recommend having a professional technician, such as one from YourMechanic, inspect your vehicle and determine why your car is not able to move.
