Default Need advice! Axle/rear issue car won't move..

while driving slowly I hear a loud clunk..clunk..clunk, pulled over to the side and tried to move the car in drive..car makes a loud clunking sound but does not move. Park works. Towed car to the shop and remove the rear end cover, ring and pinion look good but driver side axle is not turning..what do you think? How broken can this be? Thanks

Yeah it sounds like you mangled the sidegears and pinions at the very least.
