You are in what is called, limp mode. The computer has identified a problem with the transmission and allowing you to slowly drive to a shop or home. Have the computer scanned to identify trans trouble codes. That will point you in the right directions.

Many parts stores will scan the computer for free. Also, make sure the trans fluid is full and clean.
