Default Vdc Off, Slip Light On

I did a search but couldnt find answers to my problem. My car has been sitting at a bodyshop for a couple months now. I have a donut on the front driver side. Now all four tires are flat, I wanted to move my car so I put air in 3 of the tires and I tried to put air in the donut but I can hear there's a leak in it. I get in my car and try to move it but it was stuck so I pushed the VDC button and turned it off and I gave it a little gas and the rear wheels spun. The car moved forward and then the car stalled. When I turned it back on the slip light was on, I hit the VDC button but it wouldnt turn on, now when I give a little throttle it cuts the power and won't let the car rev, like its missing or something. So I went and got a tire for it and still the same problem, should I drive the car around the block or something and keep pushing the VDC button hopefully it would turn back on and the lights would go off? any ideas would be much appreciated, because knowing there is something wrong with my Z will keep me from sleeping, lol, but thats how I am. oh yeah and my ABS light is on too...........

I'll go check the brake fluid level, I turned it off because I was tapping the gas and the car didnt want to move, so I figured if i cut the VDC off, I can just hit the gas hard and get the flat donut rolling, and thats when the car stalled and all the lights came on........

Why would you let your car sit so long at a body shop on 4 flat tires? I agree on checking your brake fluid level though

I figured that I'd have the car done all in one shot, rather than add this here and then another week add that. The brake fluid was at the max, the abs light isnt on, 2morrow i'll just disconnect the battery for 10 mins and see what happens, thanks
