I'm unfamilar with the exact car but it sounds like part of your gear selection linkage is broken. This would be the part that is used to select the gears you can't select. I have seen some cars that use two cables, one for 1st and 2nd gear and the second for 3rd and 4th gear. I have also seen cars that use metal rods from the shifter to the transmission much like the cable setup, one rod for 1st and 2nd gear and the other rod for 3th and 4th gear.

Hope this in some way helps.

Toyota conquest 1.3, 12 valve has a stick gear and is stuck in neutral. what could be the problem

What year is your Toyota? By 'stick gear' do you mean a manual gearbox?
What exactly does it do when you try to select a gear? Is the stick loose and doesn't feel like it's not getting any gears? Does it make a 'crunching' noise?
A Loose and Sloppy stick is possibly the linkages and cables from the stick to the actual gearbox. If a link fails you will lose 1 or more gears as the connections have become loose or broken.
A 'Crunching' or a 'Grinding' noise is commonly a worn or failed clutch.

My vehicle will not move when I put it in gear

Are you sure that your gears are actually engaging. Do you feel resistance (however slight) when you select a gear including reverse gear. If it is a manual gearbox, then either the gears are not actually being selected and that could be something like a broken linkage or the clutch is not releasing when you let your foot off the pedal. The clutch problem could be rectified by adjusting the cable, if fitted, or the actuating mechanism is stuck in and not releasing the clutch. Does the pedal feel soft or in an unusual position.
It will be a dirty job to find and rectify the problem so may well be best left to a mechanic.
