Check the cable connection to the trans, make sure it is moving when the selector is moved.

If the selector cable is working properly, and is moving the selector arm on the trans. to all the gears P-R-N-D-2-1, and the fluid is full (always check with engine running, trans at temp. car in Park)then you will have to get it inspected at a trans shop for a diagnosis. Some will do it for free, and use a local shop, not a chain.
