It will still move, a motor with magnets will move slower since any EMF generated will cause a large current (short circuited generator) that counter-acts the movement, but the reaction is proportional to the speed of movement, so at slow speed there will hardly be any counter-action and the vehicle will still roll away, not be held by a short circuited motor. NOTE that this is only the case for motors with an active excitation such as a PM (Permanent Magnet) motor. Any motor without active field will not generate any voltage, so whether shorted or not, so you can turn an ACIM (AC Induction motor) for example as much as you like, it makes no difference if it is shorted or not.

I thought that if you shorted across the motor cables it would not move, no? Mark Grasser "as well as the parking pawl that drops into the teeth on the flywheel IIRC" The MES drive has an output to activate a parking pawl when in electronic "park". I never implemented it but I thought it was a great idea.
