You need a transmission shop immediately, driving it will ruin the transmission due to overheating of the fluid, thus loss of lubrication. You may have a blocked transmission cooler.

Nah. The culprit is probably a bad solenoid in the CVT. Have a shop with a tranny scanner decode before proceeding. The valve body is $700, plus a couple hours to replace. The CVT fluid is most probably ok, but of course will be automatically replaced when the tranny's opened up. Good luck.
