Grinding noise when rolling in neutral and in gear, car won't move.

Grinding noise when rolling in neutral and in gear, car won't move.
Ok so backstory that I believe to be related, two days before incident I hit a huge semi tire on the freeway. Fast forward to incident. I'm making a 3 point turn, go into reverse, no problem, go back into first gear and car won't budge, feels like there is a wheel chock holding it back, so I give it some more gas and hear metal grinding so I back off. Put it in reverse, same issue. So I put it in neutral and push it, same thing!
Turned the car off and got my jack, lift up drivers side do a quick inspection for anything obvious, pitch black out I see nothing. I drop the car and now it moves! No grinding at all! I parked it and drove it the next morning and now there is a thumping noise that increases with speed. Parked the car and haven't had time to look at it yet. Looking for ideas of what could be the issue. I'm leaning towards cv axle/wheel bearing. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't keep driving it until you figure out whats wrong. I would start by getting all 4 tires off the ground and trying to rotate them by hand. Look for any binding, noise, anything really. I would then dump the fluids from all the drivetrain parts and see what that looks like too.I would start at the transfer case, then rear diff, then transmission.

Super speculating here, but maybe some metal was stuck in the gears and just through moving the car around and what not it made its way out of the gear set.

You ran over something and two days later the car acted up? I'm not going to say impossible but ....
You were shifting gears when this happened. I wonder if you managed to get two gears selected at the same time. That would do what you describe and then could magically disappear.

And yes you were shifting at the time, you were doing a three-point turn. What I was suggesting was that the lockup might not be related to the incident on the highway but instead was a hiccup in the transmission.
