You may have a malfunctioning reverse shift lockout system. This system prevents shifting into reverse at speeds over 5 MPH to prevent damage to the transmission. Sometimes this occurs because of an electrical gremlin so try disconnecting your negative battery cable for a few seconds and then reconnect it to see if the reverse gear selector returns to normal. If this does not work, most modern cars have a shift lock release to override the system. The emergency release is either a hole near the shifter or a button under the plastic shifter housing. You insert a screwdriver into the hole or press the button. This allows you to shift into reverse temporarily so you can get the car to the mechanic to fix the problem.
