When a vehicle with an automatic transmission is towed without disconnecting the driveline, the transmission turns all the time while the vehicle is moving; but the internal parts get no lubrication, because the transmission oil pump only works while the engine is running. Due to the widespread damage this would have caused, I expect your transmission cannot be repaired; but must be replaced.
