Hello,

This could be due to a number of reasons.
It could be that the CV axle is damaged or disengaged or broken. Also, it could be due to internal failure of the transmission.

The best course of action would be to do an inspection of those components.
Look for any damage to the CV axle. If the CV is damages, you might get grease leaking out of the boot.
It will also be a good idea to inspect the intermediate shaft.
