Make sure the trans is filled with fluid, if it's real low it won't move either. Did you try it in 4 wheel drive? If it moves in 4 wheel (with front hubs locked) then it may be the gearvendor unit.

By trying it with hubs locked and it didn't move we know it's not the gearvendor. When you reassembled it you made sure the TC aligned with the pump right?
With the truck running try it in all the gears then back to park and check the level again. You could disconnect the rearmost tranny line (return line from the cooler) and with asistance have someone start the truck to see if the pump is pumping.
