Parked the vehicle and when I went back to go it would not go into drive. Drives perfectly in reverse. Prior to this it has never shown any signs of a problem. What could this possibly be?

This can be the gear range sensor not working but we need to run the codes to see what comes up.

This guide can help:

Here is the gear range sensor so you can check it out or replace it. Also make sure the fluid is clean and full.

You might have a first gear shift solenoid that is not working as well, check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
