Check the rear U-joint. If it's good, you either have a snapped axle or an issue in the differential.

A broken axle will allow the driveshaft to spin but not transfer power to the wheel.

We have a few possibilities:
1: with a driveshaft having a center support and bearing, a snapped U-Joint at the rear.
2: Center supported driveshaft, snapped rear yoke, either on the driveshaft or differential.
3: Pumpkin or pinion gear in the differential missing teeth or broken.
4: Snapped axle.

I second what CJ said. How much to repair will depend on what is needed to fix it and how much the shop charges for labor.
