tried lookin over all the fuses didnt see anything, tried the broken key, it opens doors but wont turn in the ignition which makes me think the other key is working or it wouldnt turn, no?
i had just given a guy a jump before this happened, could that have done anything?

Unfortunately, it could. I would say, that this is most likely to be the reason of trouble than what you coul do checking fuses. Also, I doubt that it is posssible to locate the problem via Internet - this is the case for computer diagnostic.
Speaking about car-key, mind, that each key has a limited amount of codes that allow to start the engine - this is the picularity of Mercedes security system. When the key is out of code combinations - it becomes useless.
So I advise anyone who has only one key to order one spare key at a dealer's office - just in case.
this is odd, i cant shift the gears in any key position, according to this i should be able to
Your initial post and this post seem to describe two different problems with your vehicle. 1) Your car will not start 2) You vehicle will not shift out of park. Would you clarify if you have both issues or just one of them.

well as the car would not start i was not compelled to shift it out of park , but as i kept trying things i ended up trying to shift out of park and could not, so yea i have both problems.
i'm thinking i triggered some security measure, but hell if i know how to fix it
