It sounds like you are having problems with the transmission's valve body or your brakes are locked up.

This problem is common on Chevy 350 turbo transmissions. Inside of the transmissions oil pan there is a valve near the edge of the case that has a S-shaped linkage. This S-shaped linkage can slip off the valve it controls and the transmission will feel like it goes into gear but not move the vehicle.

It matters if you have atuomatic or manual transmission. In an automatic car the gears shift on it's own. In an manual car you shift buy pushing the clutch and then shift from 1st gear to 2 gear.

If your car is an automatic (not a stick shift) then the car will automatically shift down as you ease off the gas petal. If it doesn't down shift then you need to have the vehicle checked out to see what is wrong.
