...and don't drive the car anymore. The transmission is done. It will have to be replaced. I'm hoping you had it serviced recently and that is the cause (nothing else makes sense). It should be towed to wherever did the service and it's on them to acquire a new transmission and replace it. They aren't rebuilt (unfortunately) at this point... at least I haven't heard of anyone getting one rebuilt. Always replaced... despite their simplicity.
Edit: remembering your inspection sheet... I wonder if they did a 'color test' on the CVT fluid... pulling out the fill plug (not sure if it has an integral dipstick but I assume it dies like a conventional AT) to dab a cloth and inspect it. If there's anything on your inspection sheet about your transmission fluid, that's almost certainly when it was pulled. There's been several folks with engine oil plugs not tightened from the dealer causing it to work itself loose further and draining the oil out while driving and wrecking the engine. They all got their engines replaced. It sounds like you're finding yourself in a similar boat.
