Most likely the transmission has an internal failure where it cannot build pressure when it needs to. Such a sudden loss of movement is normally a cut seal or even a failed transmission pump. Basically you need to build pressure in the transmission to apply the proper clutches.

We need to start with checking fluid pressure in the unit. I attached the process on how to do this. Let me know what you find and we can go from there.
