The drain plug on the oil pan is an old one and it is a butterfly type bolt, i loosened it to drain the oil and it will not screw back in to the oil pan

tell them at the parts store you use that you want a single oversized drain plug for that vehicle and you can install it.make sure that you start it perfectly straight and just screw it in.it will be a little tight to turn because it is cutting new threads.

The old one is stuck in won't come out of the pan. It has a safety thing that won't allow it to come out

oh,ok.without seeing it ,it sounds like you may have to use a special tool of some sort or possibly remove the oil pan to get it out.i think your best bet would be to have it towed to a shop for inspection.
