Mercedec c300 w204 Stuck in reverse

I was Parking, threw in reverse, pressed the gas, it does not respond, the engine is running but the car does not move, after I released the brake, it began to roll, stopped, threw the handbrake, , threw it into parking, turned off the engine, after I turned on the engine, the lever is in parking, but the car itself is in reverse, that is, the panel shows reverse although it is in parking and the rear entry camera turns on, I change to drive, it still remains in reverse, then errors began to appear on the panel, one of them "Malfunction of the system held.passenger Return to the maintenance point" and a couple more errors. I called a tow truck, brought it home, they advised me to remove the stamps for a couple of hours, removed it but still did not help, I also can not start the car because it is stuck in reverse, this has not happened before.

You are gonna need to scan the car with a decent Mercedes compatible scanner and see what the codes are.

What do all the errors say? Take a photo of each one and post them.

Obviously the car needs to be scanned to check which faults are showing.

The return to maintenance point im thinking means bring it to Mercedes, its a serious issue.

When you say you have the shift lever in Park but the car is indicating its in Reverse is it really in reverse, does it move in reverse?
