'99 expy won't drive forward

My wifes '99 expy won't drive forward. It will go in reverse fine, but not forward. It's rolls in neutral forwards and back. I just replaced Pads and Rotors on all four corners about a month before. She said the back tire(s) kind of skipped when she was backing up and then just locked up and wouldn't go forward. I haven't taken anything apart as I just had surgery and can't lift or strain so I asking blindly, so to speak. Anybody have any idea?? The parking brake seems to be releasing but I can't say for sure. I've read about the ABS sensor on other postings, but I'm not sure about that. Thanks for any help.

If it was my mother in laws vehicle I would have her lie under the truck while I put it in gear to see if the drive shaft was turning and the wheels not...

Have your transmission checked by a qualified and well recommended service shop.

Transmission shops

Where abouts are you; zip code

I have some great auto transmission dealers throughout the US and Canada that really know their transmission.
