The AC compressor is failing or the clutch pulley bearing is defective, u can't hear this when driving because road noise cancels out the AC compressor noise.

As long as the a/c clutch plate is not engaging and the clutch bearing is not making noise while rotating, you should not have any problem.

Power wheels cadillac escalade is making grinding noise and not moving

You need to relist this problem. This is for real Cars and Trucks. It sounds like the drive gear is ground off or you have sand of something jamming the gears.

Squels when ac on

That is a typical noise when the A/C compressor drive belt needs more tension. It will have probably 2 clamp bolts to loosen, and an adjusting bolt to move one of the pulleys.

A loud noise when I turn on the AC and shift it to D or R.

What kind of noise? If it's like a squeal it is a lose belt. If it's more like a clunk it's the transmission shifting and you just happen to notice it more because of the higher RPM the motor is at with the AC on. Try getting the vehicle moving with out the AC on then turning it on after you are moving to see if you get the same sound. If it's a squeal you have a loose belt that needs replacement or tightening.

this sounds like the AC compressor is failing, the engine idles slower in drive so noise is more apparent. you are likely going to need to replace it soon.
