My car did not overheat, but my car stop moving after driving for a few minutes and will not accelerate when the gear is engaged. We found out coolant and the gear oil have mixed together, but I am not sure if it is gear oil or the engine oil is what mixed with the coolant. Car did not overheat and the engine is running but stop moving after a few minutes when the gear is engaged.

That indicates transmission fluid which comes from a leaking cooler inside the transmission. You will need to replace the radiator, completely flush the cooling system. You will also need to flush the transmission out as well. Once that is done, keep an eye on the transmission. Coolant in the transmission is not good and can cause the transmission to fail.
