Set parking brake,idle in neutral,check fluid level, do not over fill.

Torque converter fills in neutral or drive, not in park.

May take a few minutes if you drained the converter.

Years ago I changed the fluid on my parents Plymouth wagon. Same thing would not move. Panicked. After a few minutes and making sure trans was full it worked fine.

I had the same problem, then read that you have to put car in neutral to get tranny fluid moved around.  Now I start the car, put it in neutral for 10 seconds and then reverse and it works fine.
