Sounds like a frozen cable to me. Time for penetrating oil on the upper
part of the cable and the passage of time.

To Ron Murray:
Ditto what Wayne and Jim K. have said - if still no luck try this:
Go to Walmart or similar and buy a bottle of Trans X - pour half in to
transmission (down dip stick tube) - wait 10 mins - start engine & try
shifting into all gears 8 to 10 times - if no luck try again in 10 mins -
if no luck try again in 10 more mins - if or when it starts to move limp to
a mechanic to have Trans pan dropped, sludge removed, and new trans filter
installed.
JWID & John Miller & others.
Good Luck in solving this and let us know how it was solved.
