After you refilled it, you shifted through the gears pausing for a few seconds in each one before checking it correct? If it is full and it doesn't move I would have it checked by a pro.

Follow instructions in the owners manual and check the fluid level via the transmission dipstick, assuming you have an auto transmission. Your fluid may be low, but don't just dump more in without verifying.
