Got back in and it wont start or turn over, the foot brake is not not showing ( press on ) and when I press the start button nothing , the dash goes threw all the computer faults and flashes and dings . the e .brake is working , If I grab a wheel I can rock the car back and forth with the e . brake off, and cant with it on . It is also stuck in park. if I jack up the rear wheels the front brakes appear to go on ,so I cant move it anyway . so it stuck half in & out of the shop. The key fob remotes are working . Hope someone can help

Over the years, I've seen this come up but when it does, the dead battery siphons off available current from the jumper battery so you cannot start the car with the dead battery in the circuit.

Had the same issue last week. Wouldn't start or turn over. Wouldn't accept a jump. Put in a new battery, nothing! Couldn't get it out of gear but opened the emergency release in the center console so we could tow the car to my mechanic. It turned out to be a burned out starter. $350. later, the world is good again.

It will do you no good to get the car out of park by shifting the lever- no matter how you do it.
The problem is that there is an electronic handbrake. That will only release in the presence of voltage. Which is why I feel your problem is a new battery and or reset.
Look in the owners manual how to override the electronic handbrake in case of emergency. I have a slightly different car, otherwise I would do it for you.

Yes try another battery.
Did you read the handbook on emergency brake release procedures? it may have something in there.

You must understand that you must try another battery because you may have damaged your charger while starting it still connected, which will subsequently give you bad reading.
In any case disconnect the battery completely and try with another or take it and have it tested at a shop.
Yes ignore the fact that you cannot get it out of park, that is part and parcel of the lockdown.
