The shift lock requires the brakes to be pushed in order to get the vehicle out of Park. The brake lights need to be checked to see if they work; the brake switch and wire connector to the switch may have gone bad. I recommend having a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, run an inspection to diagnose the issue of your car not shifting out of Park, and recommend the best path to repair.
