You learn how modern cars work.

There is a switch under your brake pedal. When you depress the brake
and hit that switch, it releases the shift lock so that you may shift
the car.

The shift lock mechanism is broken somewhere. You need manually to
release it using the system the auto mfr included for that. This entire
system has been on cars for 20 years now, and every car has some way of
manually unlocking the shift lever.
