The car won't move if there's a problem with the torque converter. The first thing is to connect a scanner that can access the Transmission Computer to read the diagnostic fault codes. Those will indicate the circuit or system that needs further diagnosis. From there, there's an entire service manual with the steps listed to troubleshoot each fault code.
