As was mentioned before, about fluid, go ahead and change it. Look the old fluid over real close, and even use a magnet, to see if there are metal bits in the oil. Changeing the oil will flush out any particles and keep them from infecting the rest of your tranny inerds. You might even take a short drive, like around the block, and then change it again, just to help flush out any remaning debris.
IMO, you should be O.K., just don't let 'er go too long. I believe that youmay still produce metal bits, althoughto a much less degree, even if avoiding 2nd all together. Everything is still moving inside.
Just my opinion, don't cha know.
And yes, it sounds like the bearings are shot.

Gotta go now, I have another class to attend.

 

I will go ahead and change the oil and see what happens then. I'll try not to drive the car as much for now until I can get it fully diagnosed and fixed. Thanks you all for all the help and suggestions on this. Im greatly appreciated.
