Chevrolet Cavalier Gas Problem

2000 chevy cavalier, automatic,
I was pulling out of a parking space and started to drive when my car just stopped, almost like the emergency break was pulled. The car starts n runs fine. When I put it in reverse u feel it go into gear n it moves for a second like when u release the brake n the same thing happens when u put it in drive, it will go into gear n roll for just a second. When I give it gas it wont go anywhere. I've tried reverse, drive, 1st n 2nd gears. I've tried to push it in neutral, drive, n reverse but the car wont move. No prior problems. No indications my transmission was going. The car has been running fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
