Service light was on so we changed the 2 shift solenoids and the power control module now the car will not go into reverse or recognize it and will not go over 10 miles and hour

Sorry, we replaced the 2 shift solenoids (1-2 and 3-4) and the pressure control module not the power control module now the car will not move in any gear.
The car worked fine before replacement except when it got hot after about 30 miles of driving then the service light would come on and it would kick into gear then we would pull over and shut it off a few minutes and it would work fine again til it got hot again, but it worked ok. It would not get over 10 mph after replacement of the solenoid and module but it would move. Now it will not move at all like I said. (We drove it slow to a car repair and then they said it would not move after we got it there.)

If it was shifting hard when the service light came on and then shifted normal after cycling the key and had a code p1811 then all you needed was a new pressure control solenoid have r3placed tons of them. Unless you drove it like that for a while then you destroyed the transmission.
