Default Car will go into gee but will not move??

Alright so I just recently got my car back from being with my mom, just a few days ago I notice a substabial loss in power at low rpms. At first I thought it was a low octane combustion because it has some gas left in the tank from when I last had it, now the car won't move unless I really stomp on it and at that, now I don't drive it and I put it on a trailer because I don't want to risk breaking something in the tranny. Any thoughts? It's a 1999 Z28 M6

doubt that would have anything to do with it not moving under gear and if the cats was clogged it would not want to run under idle

My car ran just fine at idle but you had to floor it for it to move. Just saying... car also overheated while it happened.
