Sounds like you might have a clogged filter screen, or a toasted hydraulic pump

As it did drive off the trailer, and move forward, I would go for the screen filter that is in the transmission pan. EThis thread will tell you how to.

metal screen

Can you push the car if it's in neutral?

When you put it in gear and give it gas, does the engine spin freely or does it bog down?
