2010 Explorer wont move when cold

Good morning all, hoping someone here can maybe shed some light. I bought my wife a 2010 Explorer a couple years ago, nice car but when it gets to
0 or -0 it wont move. After idling for an hour and some persuasion with the throttle it will lunge forward and then there is no issue until it is shut off and cooled down again. I'm wondering if there could be water in the tranny and its freezing but there is no way to check it. Hopefully someones got some ideas before I have to break down and bring it in...Thanks

Low fluid or it may need to be changed. Sounds like its low or thick.

When it won't move, does the engine rev like the transmission is in neutral or does the engine load up like it might if the brakes were stuck?

Everything shifts in and out of gear just fine and the engine revs as it should.
