Seems to me that your window motor died, one of my back windows died a few months ago, its not cheap to fix at all, quite frankly it was a pain in the ***. I dont understand your second part

" i cant press out the car in gear?? help me"

Please elaborate on what you mean, ill try to help you from there!

First check the main window switch and clean the contacts inside. A lot of people replace the window motor and find out afterwards that it was the switch.

i know in my brothers case (1991 Mercury Cougar) it wasnt the switch or the motor.....it was the black peice of material wehre the window slides into, the little rubbery piece i guess for insulation, it had lost all the felt on the inside and his window would get stuck/bonded tot eh rubber until you broke it loose

It could be your window regulator. Usually you can get a complete replacement cheaper. I take it you got an automatic. Check your brake switch. Can you move the gears in and out with the slit deal on the shift column?
