Default Car Stopped Moving!!! Very important and need help asap!!!!

I have a 95 Honda accord and I know absolutely nothing about cars. I was driving home from school and the car started right up and went into gear just fine. I started to leave the parking lot and when I put the car in drive it was barely creeping along, the engine sounded like it was trying to hit the car was barely moving. I was able to make it to a gas station nearby but when I got there and tried to see if it was a oil problem it was not and so I waited a little and tried to move again but the car would not move at all anymore. Not in drive or reverse. The RPMs would go up but nothing else happened. I’m not sure what the problem is or what to do and need some help!!!!

Sounds like either your transmission has failed or one of your axle shafts has broken.

Default Car Stopped Moving

Are there other ways that I would be able to tell which one it would be? I was having some issues with my front end making a creaking/squeeking noise every time I braked or turned the car left or right.

If an axle is broken, it will be reasonably obvious as it will probably be hanging low under the front of the car between the transmission and one of the front wheels. If it isn't an axle, then it is probably the transmission; if an automatic, check the fluid level in the tranny, if a manual, then you probably need a new clutch.
