2003 Chevy Suburban Z71 - 4WD Problem

I have a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 with less than 50K miles. It has been over a year since I used the 4WD. However, I went to use the 4WD (high mode) today and it 1)felt as if the emergency brake was on because it would hardly move forward, 2) made a very loud "moaning" noise and vibration through the undercarriage when it finally started to move and 3) made a "clunking" noise (like the drivetrain was literally dropping) when I changed it back to 2WD.

I did not drive it more than 50 feet, for fear it was causing damage. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Might "just" be some parts have rusted from not being used for so long. Take a look at the diff. and T-case lubricant.
