Sounds as if your linkage may have become disconnect from the transmission.

SOURCE: shift handle moves freely with out shifting trans

The shifter works off a shift cable which is connected to the transmission. The connection of this cable to the transmission is on the drivers side looking straight up were you can see it. The other end connects to the inner part of the shifting mechanisum where you shift
You can only get a replacement at any General Motos dealerships parts department

SOURCE: trailblazer shifter stack in park

pull your steering wheel to one side and see if it will move the shifter. Sometimes the steering lock will get stuck and won't let you move it into gear. If that does not work then Chalk the wheels and go underneath and disconnect the cable/linkage from the tranny. See if you can move the tranny arm by hand. If it moves then it is in the cloulm/cable or linkage. Try to move the shifter when it is disconnected. If it still won't move then you will have to find out where it is getting stuck. Let me know what happens. Hope this works.

Will not engage gears shifter moves freely

Check your linkeage bushing (plastic). Dorman makes a replacement, these tend to break. In the mean time, you can Jerry rig it. I've seen people use zip ties to get by.

The end of the shift cable has broken, there is a plastic ring at the transmission end of the cable that breaks. You will need to have it towed to the mechanic.
