The codes tell you to scan the transmission control module.

Also, it's not clear, but is your brake light switch not working? That one can cause lots of issues, including not shifting into gear. Replace.

And scan the TCU.

The brake light switch code was pull off the tcm. I know what the codes mean, I just didnt know if the brake swith light would make it not go into gear or not.it will pull forward I little then nothing.plus with it not going into first, im wondering if it could be a sensor

Yikes sounds almost like its really really low on fluid. Scan for codes in TCU first. And the brake light switch will NOT cause a no move issue with the transmission. Really for no movement at all in forward gears is like low fluid, or a mechanical failure with the 1st gear clutches.
