I have had that happen before, actually. The oil in the gearbox turned to goo and made the shifter damn near impossible to move. It would be especially problematic if there's gear oil in there. If you start the car and warm it up, it the heat from the engine oil will re-liquify the gearbox oil and you should be able to shift again. Once you get the transmission warmed up, change that oil immediately.
This isn't necessarily your problem, but I'd get the car otherwise running and give it go before worrying, especially if the transmission was in decent shape prior to napping.
