Car Won't Drive After Routine Oil Change

We changed the oil in my '09 mazda3 yesterday, and today we tried to drive it, but no matter how much gas we give it, it sputters and barely moves! We checked the transmission oil and there isn't any, but still cant figure out why there is problems!!!

"We checked the transmission oil and there isn't any, but still cant figure out why there is problems!!!" Engines use oil, transmissions use fluid. They are very different. You say there is no transmission oil? If there is no "fluid" (red) in the transmission, it's certainly not going anywhere. Perhaps you should contact a mechanic.
