When you put the car in park does it make a strange grinding sound? Please lift the front of the car. Here is a guide:

See if the wheels roll by hand (engine off).

Please let us know what you find.

Do the wheels move a little back and forth or they both do not move at all? I am trying to see if the transmission is the issue or a axle bearing. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what is going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
