So, it sounds like you have a broken axle but to be sure start the truck and have a helper keep their foot on the brake pedal while watching the drive shaft put the truck into drive and see if the drive shaft turns, if so, then for sure one of the axles is broken. Shut the engine off before putting the truck into park. Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
