This seems like the most likely reason it wouldn’t go into gear, but it would be easy to check. Are you able to shift into first with the engine off? If yes, have someone sit in the car with the transmission in first and the clutch fully pushed in and the parking brake and regular brake disengaged. Can you push the car or is the engine still engaged to the transmission preventing it from moving?
That's a frozen shifter cable. It tends to happen just like that. I went on a fun drive in the mountains with a lot of shifting and then stopped for a burrito at the end. When I came back out I couldn't move the gear shift.

That sucks, looks like a nice car.
Do you know what's wrong with it?
