I went to put it in drive and the shift lever moves freely but it's stuck in park. I need to see if the cable came off or if the bushing is shot, but I don't know where to look. Could you help? Thanks.

Hello,

This could be due to a worn component on the shift cable or a broken clip. You will have to remove the center console to access the shift cable.
It can also be due to a broken cable.

I have attached the diagrams for the shift cable as well as adjustment procedure below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
