if you stopped right away hopefully you didn't cook anything.
If you revved it up trying to go and it stopped pulling altogether it could be worse.

Keep topping off the fluid, go for a ride and check it again.
Check fluid warm engine running in Neutral on level surface.

I did this in my Dodge and had to top it off a few times until the converter was full again, my guess.

Check fluid!!! Like Jason said, if you kept trying to rev it and make it keep moving, it probably cooked what fluid you had left. You should really drain all the fluid out and refill it. Hopefully you didn't cook the TC. Did you smell burnt fluid or anything when this happened?
Did it start dropping gears(lost 4th, then 3rd, then 2nd, then only 1st)?
If this is the case and it won't go out of 1st once the fluid is up to the proper level, you've locked up some valves in the valve body due to overheating what fluid you had left. Disassemble, take apart the valve body, clean everything reassemble valve body back to tranny. You can do this with the tranny still in the truck.
When losing fluid, the clutch plates just disengage since there is no fluid to maintain hydraulic pressure. This will keep happening until the low roller sprag is the only thing left to make you go foreward. The only thing left to burn is the pump or the TC.
Let us know how it turns out.

You'll know if the trans fluid is cooked it smells like real crap, unforgetable stank 8) Hopefully you were using synthetic fluid as it would protect better even in the smaller doses.
