If the gearbox is locked on 4th gear and the transmission shafts are not turning, there could be a problem with the transmission itself or with a component related to the transmission.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the transmission fluid level. Low transmission fluid can cause the gears to become stuck or not engage properly.
Check the transmission filter. A clogged or dirty transmission filter can restrict the flow of transmission fluid and cause the gears to become stuck or not engage properly.
Check the transmission linkage. The linkage connects the transmission to the shifter and can become damaged or disconnected, causing the transmission to become stuck in a specific gear.
Check the transmission control module (TCM). The TCM is responsible for controlling the transmission and can malfunction, causing the transmission to become stuck in a specific gear.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.
