Shift Interlock System
A brake/shifter interlock system consists of the following:
ignition switch (11572)
brake pedal stoplight switch (13480)
brake shift interlock module
brake shift interlock solenoid assembly (attached to key interlock assembly)
necessary wiring
On floor-shift vehicles, the ignition/shifter interlock cable (3F719):
locks the floor shift transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
requires the floor shift transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

See if u have brake lights. This is what energizes the shifter solenoid. There are 2 fuses u can check both are in the under dash fuse panel. Fuse 23 (15amp) and fuse 26 (7.5amp).
To get it out of park turn igntion switch on stopping just short of engerizing the electronics then u should be able to get it out of park and into neutral.

sounds like your brake/shift interlock solenoid is not releasing.
Your owner manual will tell you how to bypass in emergency.
Check your fuse first. fuse panel on instrument panel.
Please rate as fixed if this helps.
Fuse 23 - 1 5 amp
Fuse 34 - 7 1/2 amp
check enigne light not related.

The selector lever lock can be moved mechanically out of position ”P" when for example the battery is disconnected or completely discharged.
Using a ball point pen or similar item as an unlocking lever, push forward and hold in position.
Move the selector lever out of position "P".
NOTE: If the selector lever is moved back to ”P" it is re-locked.

First check the transmission fluid level. If the car is cold it should be on the bottom line or other cold indicator in the transmission dip-stick. If the fluid (transmission oil) is within specs try giving it a tune-up. If the fluid is low you obviously have a leak. It could be leaking from the transmission pan gasket or the fluid cooling hoses that go to the radiator. Let me know what you find.

shifting linkage is shot...time to see a mechanic($80-125)
For
car not changing gears it can be shifter assembly issue, or it can also be
transmission issue. Get the shifter assembly inspected with ignition OFF.
For
more troubleshooting, I suggest you to get the Following help link checked, its
