When it doesn't move at all turn the ignition off. Don't touch anything but the key with your feet or hands. Now get off and check drive belt(s) tension.

Maybe you could post your model#. Try this, start the mower, release the brake/clutch pedal, hook your toe under the brake/clutch pedal and pull it towards you. What happened? Did anything happen, if so what.
