Hello! Welcome to JustAnswer. Thank you for contacting us for assistance with your Stratus. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'll be helping you today. I'm so sorry you are having this issue with your Stratus, I know it can be frustrating.
If it won't start and the start fuse keeps blowing, its most likely the starter that is your issue.

why is my breaks so tight and I cant move the gear shift

Your brakes are tight because the engine hasn't run so the vacuum assist for the brakes is empty. You can't move the shifter because the brake pedal can't be pushed down far enough to activate the switch that releases the shifter lock.
