The engine has gone into limp mode for a reason and is limiting your rpm to protect itself. Check you fault codes and go from there. Common reasons are failed MAF/AMM, blocked exhaust, disconnected vaccum line to the turbo or a boost leak.

Get your car checked for fault codes. Engine, transmission and ESP/ABS. You can't really go far without doing that first.
