ADVANCED THRUST TO 50 PERCENT AND NOTHING. STARTED THE NUMBER 1 ENGINE AND AIRCRAFT STILL WOULD NOT MOVE, EVEN WHEN ADVANCING PAST 45 PERCENT. CYCLED PARKING BRAKE 4 TIMES AND STILL WOULD NOT MOVE (RED LIGHT EXTINGUISHED EVERY TIME BRAKE WAS RELEASED). HAD TO BE TOWED IN. TUG DRIVER SAID HE PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT BACK BEFORE PULLING FORWARD INTO GATE. HE SAID WHEN RELEASING TOW BAR, THE NOSE WHEEL DID NOT MOVE BACK INTO A FORWARD POSITION. ALSO AIRCRAFT NOSE WHEEL WAS NOT IN A DIP ON THE RAMP, LEVEL AREA. ACCOMPLISHED GVI OF MLG AND NLG NO DEFECTS NOTED.
