Have you tried tapping on the starter with a hammer, starter could be frozrn from sitting.
Also check to see if you have 12 volts at the starter if you have a DMM.
Did you clean the battery cable ends when you replaced battery??
You should be able to put vehicle in neutral and get it down the driveway just be careful as you will not have easy steering or good brakes.
