2007 Chevy Silverado, will go in reverse, but will not go forward? Even when I push on the gas, the truck will not go forward.

The truck will go in reverse but will not go forward, even when I push on the gas peddle. This happened after I did a U-turn and it sound like I hit something that might have locked up the area to where I can drive forward, but as of now I can not drive forward, so I am confused of what it could be.

You said you hit something. Carefully check the transmission linkage to make sure that it is properly engaging. Crawl underneath and have someone move the linkage while you examine the movement. If something got misaligned when you hit whatever, it is conceivable that the tranny is not properly engaging due to this.
Could be a simple fix. Good luck.

Chevy aveo 2007 5door, shift handle feels lose, car goes

if its a 5 speed, yes the shifting is loser than normal cars. the reverse is all jacked up.. if its anything like my 06 aveo when you shift into reverse you have to lift the little circle thing on your shifter up ad act like your putting it into first.. If it grinds try doing it slower. I HATE this transmission. Chevy did a horrible job on picking it. I always grind reverse no matter what

My truck turns on but does not move forward

Make sure your transmission fluid is up to level, if it is, put a little bit on your fingers from the dipstick, does it smell burnt? if your unsure rub it between your fingers if it looks more black than red and feels gritty its burnt, try changing fluid and filter if that doesnt help your forward clutches are out, ive had some luck with trans-X in situations like this but its rare that it helps and almost never lasts hope i could help
