Welcome Jennifer 
. It appears you have an ATX and if your speedometer was also going haywire, then your Vehicle Speed Sensor may have broken. Yes, you can drive about 20 miles to the nearest Ford and they will probably also change the AT Fluid for you too. But if you are concerned, just get it towed in.
You are probably looking at $50 for the VSS, one hour labor $90? and maybe $60 ATF drain and refill (or $150 if it is an ATF flush).
