If the wheel will not move with drum off, either the rear end, drive shaft or transmission is locked up.
You can try disconnecting the driveshaft and see if it will roll.
If it doesnt, then you either drag it with another vehicle or rent some wheel dollies that will go under each rear wheel and then push it to where you want it.
Thanks for using Just Answer and letting me help you. I hope I provided what you needed. If you find more help is still needed, let me know by listing out any remaining questions you have on this concern. I hope the remainder of your day is well.
