Question: Car wont drive in foward or reverse gears.

Just got on freeway and was accelerating the car to go faster, then heard a noise(like something broke). Realized the car couldn't accelerate. The car starts OK and fluids for both engine and transmission are level. There is no grinding noise while shifting gears but car does sound lot different. Car wont drive in any gears.
