problem with locking mechanism in shifter. there is a plastic mechanism that releases shifter when brake is pressed. they are plastic and have a tendency to break. many posts and do it yourself about this.

First you said its stuck in park, now you said you can turn the key (power it up.....) and the shifter works.

Which is it?

Does the batt have +13V. Dash or headlights lighting up doesn't confirm you have sufficient voltage to turn the starter.
Does the steering wheel lock retract when the key is inserted.
Tried a second key.
Undone what you did that broke it and reinstalled the part.
Confirmed independently that you installed the correct part# yet.
If the key turns, does it crank and not start? Not crank?
Tried starting in Neutral?
Manually released the shifter and try starting in N yet?
Got codes?
