If that car has a manual transmission my first instinct would be time for a new clutch.

Then your transmission either doesn’t have enough fluid in it or it is broken.

There are only 2 options.  
Option 1: Get it fixed.  
Option 2: Don’t get it fixed.

It’s really that simple.

If the level of fluid is full, then you will need to look into the shift linkage both internal and external. There may also be an issue with the torque converter or the input shaft. Only further inspection will tell.

Have it towed to an independent transmission shop for a diagnosis and repair estimate. Ask friends, family or neighbors for recommendations. Avoid chains or franchise shops.

Good luck,
