It started with the battery light and the brake light and check engine light being on, then I went to go slow down to stop. It was like it hesitated and then I turned and went to push the gas and it wouldn't go, it acted like it was going to shut off, then I stopped turned it off. I tried to turn it on and the battery was drained so I turned it off waited a little while turned it back over and it would crank back up everything seemed normal then it started to do the same thing, but then when I turned it off and went to crank it back up it would not get out of park and it was shutting off all power.

These lights come on when the alternator stops working, but to be sure you can jump the battery to help the engine start and then check the alternator output by following this guide:
