If your car will not travel forwards or backwards, there is obviously a problem with it. This problem could be a number of things and you should take it to a mechanic to have a look as you will not be able to diagnose the issue online without someone looking and hearing what the issue with it is.
Does the engine of the car start? If it does, this reduces the chance that your problem may be engine related.
The next thing to look for is also in the engine. What happens when you put your foot on the gas? Does the car rev? If it does, then the power to and from the engine is working well and you can almost certainly rule this out as being an engine issue.
If it is an engine issue, this could be anything from a leak or a shortage in the cables that link your pedal to the engine or an issue with the connections between the two.
Another problem that you could have with the car is your gear box. If it is not reacting when you put the car in drive or reverse, this may well be a gear issue. Gear boxes are expensive to fix and you should see if your mechanic thinks that this could be the issue. Although you are putting the gear lever into position on the outside, the cogs that put it in the right position on the inside may not be connecting to each other correctly and this could be the reason why the car is not working.
Getting into a gearbox is a tricky job and more problems could be discovered when a mechanic gets inside. Go and see a mechanic who will be able to diagnose the issue and get your car up and running again.
