You can check your transmission fluid level with the engine running and in park, at least confirm you have fluid. You might have a problem with your tranny's valve body, or a shift solenoid, or clutch pack... Look up a transmission repair shop in your area, if you can limp pup there good, otherwise get it towed. Don't go to any mechanic, most mechanic shops farm out tranny work to dedicated tranny shops. So just go there directly. Dealership would work also, but much more expensive.
