The switch operated by the foot brake allows the lever to shift into and out of the park position.

When you put your foot on the pedal you should hear a click in the J gate, this is the solenoid releasing the inter lock to allow the shifter to move

The manual lever at the transmission it self may be seized. If you take the 3 8mm bolts out holding the cover on (underneath the trans) you can pop the cable off the manual lever and see if the shifter moves freely. If so you will need to spray penetrating oil into the manual lever bushing and try and work it back and forth. There isn't a really good "fix" for this unfortunately
