The pump could either be broken or clogged for your washing machine.Or the drain hose is broken or clogged or the switch assembly is not working anymore. A person that fixes washing machines would need to take a look and see what the problem is.
without knowing age of unit, I suggest replacing the motor. Sounds like the armature is worn the bearings and is moving inside the windings of the motor. I would do that first before moving forward with any other repairs.
It sounds like you may have a broken belt based on your description,
"it starts up fine and then is silent and motionless through the entire wash cycle. this is true in normal, permanent press, and delicate cycles"
Does the timer advance if left alone after filling ?
Have you access the back panel ( removed it ) and visually inspect the washer drive system ( belt, pulley, motor ) ?
You could also have a faulty motor, although that typically manifest's in only rotating in one direction and not the other so you would see some action.
Have you tried the washer in a spin cycle ?
Let me know how far you've progressed in the diagnosis and I'll watch for your reply and assist you further if necessary.
sounds as if perhaps a wire is off on the side of the motor assy, l;ook at he wiring harness, sometimes a "chugging " noise occurs form the motor when one of the harnesses is not attached. and yes its normal to wash with the lid open, not to spin however( thats a saftey issue)
