one of the brakes is probably seized up. did you just put it in drive and try to move it or did you try reverse also. reverse should nock the rear brakes loose if they are the problem.

how much gas where you giving it? when you shift into reverse or drive does the sound of the engine change? i would jack the truck up and take the drums off the back and bang all the crap out and take a look at the brakes.

did you check the transmition fluid level? that could cause it to not move. check it while it is idling in neutral.

when its running and you put it into gear the trans fluid level drops. that is why you are suppose to check it while it is idling in neutral.
