Sounds like engine may be partially seized, try turning engine by hand to see if it is too tight

SOURCE: 99 buick lost power at red light and wouln't start back

If the car will not turn over it would not be a fuel system related problem. If it were fuel related it would crank over but would not start.

Too many choice.
3 main areas are fuel, spark, air.
Try a shot of ether, if it fires at all, it is a fuel problem.
Then we can get into more detail.

No Reverse and the fluid is dirty and smells funny.

Sounds like you blew out your reverse belt/gear in the transmission. Probably going to need a transmission rebuild/replacement.
