Default built tranny took a dump

so i went to take my brother to gamestop this morning and when i got in my truck, the tranny was binding really bad and the truck would hardly move

i checked and the fluid was a little low, so i added some, but it still continued to bind. i put it in first and gave it some gas and it just stalled up and barely moved. i put it in reverse and when i gave it some gas, i heard a clunk. i turned the truck off immediately and rolled it backwards into the corner of the driveway.

the truck drove perfect sunday night with no shifting issues and i let my brother drive it today to take a friend home, and he claims it did it then.

HELP!!!!!!

chase, shoot me a PM please
