If it's been sat, check fluids - oil and coolant to see if its actually present! My recommendation would be to put a little diesel fuel down each of the cylinders to free up the rings. Secondly, it sounds like your discs are seized to the pads. Personally i'd take the wheel off and see if you can manually free them. Do the rear wheels move with the handbrake off?
When you say the shifter in unable to move, have you tried to see if it is in gear? Give it a little force in the forward or aft position or side to side. It may just be gummed up!

The shifter feels like if I push it any harder I’m going to bend something, only directly I can get some movement is up and to the right toward reverse.
Deadsquare As far as I know the car hasn’t been used in the last 5-7 years
