Make sure your transmission fluid is up to level, if it is, put a little bit on your fingers from the dipstick, does it smell burnt? if your unsure rub it between your fingers if it looks more black than red and feels gritty its burnt, try changing fluid and filter if that doesnt help your forward clutches are out, ive had some luck with trans-X in situations like this but its rare that it helps and almost never lasts hope i could help

2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, Diesel 6.6L. I put it in park, wasn't able to use reverse. A short while later wouldn't go into drive or move forward. Now the truck won't move at all.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Did it have antlers? Did it go under the truck?

My thought it that it either caused a fluid leak or it tore wires off the transmission casing.

Transmission functions can be checked electronically with a professional grade scan tool computer.

When my 99 Silverado 1500 is in any drive it works just fine. But when you put it in neutral it still drives, reverse it won't move not even pushing it. But if you shut it off and put it in reverse you...

Shift cable is WAY out of adjustment. Serious issue.

2007 Chevy Silverado, will go in reverse, but will not go forward? Even when I push on the gas, the truck will not go forward.

You said you hit something. Carefully check the transmission linkage to make sure that it is properly engaging. Crawl underneath and have someone move the linkage while you examine the movement. If something got misaligned when you hit whatever, it is conceivable that the tranny is not properly engaging due to this.
Could be a simple fix. Good luck.
