Try putting into reverse, but the moment you throw it into reverse let of the brake and give it some gas, just try to get the thing moving, if it does, then your torque converter is probably locked up.

Electrical should flash the OD.
Check idle line pressure than cooler flow. (low)
If ok you have to check the TC solenoid for a leak/stuck.
If above is good then i would move to a new TC and seal.
Thats off the top of my head.
M.K. might have some input.

So if you not on the brakes, and put in gear, it starts moving and doesn't stall?

The Edge can't tell you line pressure. All it can tell you is what line pressure it wants. You have to measure line pressure with a 0-350 PSI gauge.
You could have a stuck torque converter control valve.
You could have a stuck torque converter control solenoid.
You could have low fluid.
You could have a loose/missing internal filter.
You could have low line pressure.
