Battery dead and need to move my 2013 Focus SE in order to recharge. I

Get a jump start and drive it away to have the battery tested/replaced. Or just applying 12 volts to the battery for a moment will allow you to pull it out of park. Don't forget to press the brake pedal when shifting to Neutral.
