Help no power when pressing on gas!!

I’ve been experiencing this problem for a couple weeks now it wasn’t too bad til today when I went out

my car COULD’NT switch gears I kept putting it into drive but it wouldn’t switch it was stuck in reverse

also when I started driving as I pressed on the gas my car would not move i would rev it and nothing happened and it kept slipping

as I reved my car it moved for just a second and then it kept repeating this viscous cycle (no power when I pressed gas, moved for second repeat)

I went to Auto Zone last week the code came up as P0011 there might be another new code i’m not sure

so my question is what do I need to replace or what do I need to go buy?? i’m definitely not trying to bring my car to the shop I’ve repaired my car in the past before as long as it’s not too tedious I can do it

any help would be greatly appreciated i’m about to start a new job I NEED this to be fixed ASAP

Transmission might be toast. I'm assuming your auto. Start by checking the fluid level.

ever had the transmission serviced before?

#1 killer of automatic transmissions is people slacking off on servicing them.

Based on the CODE thrown, it's a VVT (Variable Valve Timing) Issue. This is a good link to troubleshoot and fix: https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/...nissan-maxima/

Well, for starters, are you auto or manual?
If manual, the clutch being toast is another possibility.
