I went out to the car, started it, and tried to put it in Drive, but it wouldn’t go.
Well being a 2025 year model, I would call the dealer and have it towed to them…
You will get a much better answer if you give accurate information including year make model, milage, and some more detailed info, like does it make a noise when in gear, or is this over night or after being driven for a while etc etc…

Contact the dealer and ask them what to do. As @davesmopar said, they will likely have it towed to their shop.
Based on what cars.com published ~2 weeks ago, I am a bit skeptical that the OP’s Pacifica is really a 2025 model: The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica will go on sale later in 2024. Pricing will be available closer to its on-sale date.
Assuming that the OP’s non-2025 Pacifica is still covered by warranty, then–as others mentioned–it should be towed to the dealership. If it’s no longer covered by warranty, then a well-reputed indy mechanic may be able to find the problem and fix it.
It wouldn’t go into drive, or didn’t do anything when put into drive. If you can’t get it out of park, usually there is an emergency that overrides the brake pedal. Usually a key slot that you insert the key in. It would be in the owners manual.

Two days later, the OP has not returned.
Yep, pretty typical for the Ask Someone threads from car complaints thingy…
Sad part is, the mod/admin change the wording to get ride of the Ask Someone part so there is no easy way to track (on our end anyway) how many are one and done’s…

I would guess the one and done posts are more than 80%. Plus, many just magically disappear.
I have tried messaging the posters, but nothing.
I have tried posting in car complaints, nothing shows.
IMHO, car complaints is a very poorly designed website.

I expect the posters there are throwing hail-Mary passes, thinking while they might get lucky the “ask someone who owns one” approach might produce a good result, it probably will produce nothing of interest they don’t already know. So when they see nothing of interest appear in their cell- phone messages , they figure they were right, and just delete the messages. So there’s no need to post back.
The whole ask “someone who owns one” idea, while it might seem like a good method, I don’t recall many examples of someone who owns the same car having the same problem.
