I didnt check the fluid level but it was functioning perfectly before the incident without making even as much as a squeak and now it sounds like you threw nuts and bolts in a blender
Cobalts aren't very heavy, so dragging them while in park, while not a great idea, still will not likely do any harm. Driving it into a ditch however can potentially do all kinds of bad things. Either you or a mechanic need to get underneath and go over everything to see what may have been bent or damaged when you went off roading. If the damage appears to be from when it was pulled out their insurance will cover it. All you need to do is call them and let them know what happened.
