I believe your transmision gone bad and needs replacment or rebuild, Unless this a 4wd modelSsorento, if so, you have your 4wd turn on and on the low 4wd side in Lx models if this is a 4wd sorento ex, equipped with the auto/low 4wd knob. You might have the knob, or accidently shift the knob to the (low 4x4) position, and if you do, then the car is set only to run on the first gear for max tranction and to prevent your differential from overheating. This knob is located on your left side of the steering wheel, and if turned to the 4wd postion, it needs to be in the auto or 2wd poistion.

My 2004 kia sorento won't shift past 3rd gear. Changed the transmission fluid, still won't shift.

have you tried shifting with the car stopped not running does it shift easy or hard sometimes the syncro inside the trans gets worn or the shifter fork could be bent damaged usually a trans shop or specialist can help you work on it because its a big job tom pull out the trans and tear it apart but if you want to do it yourself its possible
