Question Understanding why cars dont move when engine is reving

This might be a stupid question but i'm learning, when a car is on, either manual or auto, why doesn't the car move like surely the power is still going to the driveshaft, and all your doing is opening the throttle when pushing the accelerator, so why doesnt the power go to the wheels? or like being at a traffic light with the engine on and breaks on? Why doesnt it move forwads? Is it because of the differentials? Sorry if this makes no sense
