Look underneath, if you don't have an apparent leak, then you aren't losing fluid. So now you may have 'overfilled' and will want to drain it now. Drop your pan and change the trans screen, maybe a plugged screen will cause this issue. If so, new screen PN: F6AZ-7A098-A. Either way, it sounds to have gone into a fail-safe status so something electronic is wrong.

The fluid must be checked with the engine running and the tranny warm. It's not like the engine oil.

No matter what the solenoids do or do not do the trans will still move forward. If it won't move then something mechanical broke inside the transmission. It's toast.
