Engine Shutting off/Limp

So i got in my car today and it was a little slow to start.. probably just because of the cold, but then when i shifted it to Drive (5AT) it sounded like the engine went into limp mode or something. It didnt completely shut off, but there was absolutely no power. Also, the service engine light came on.

The dealership is already closed and their service department is closed on weekends (and monday is a holiday) so i'm not sure what i should do? I'd rather just leave it in my garage over the weekend rather than get it towed to sit in some parking lot.

anybody else have this problem?

Try to reset your ECU... There's the pedal method or the "unplug your battery overnight" method.... See if that works for you...
