My 2001 Lexus rx300 acted like it was in neutral all of a sudden. What is the chance I will have to replace the transmission? Could it be the transmission fluid needs flushing?

Always treat auto replacement as an absolute last resort
There is a servo/solenoid controlled torque converter clutch that connects the converter up and they do fail from electronic or wiring problems (indicated by the sudden loss of drive)
run the fault codes first to detect such a problem
if the transmission oil has not been changed in the last 60,000klms then that will only help if it is done soon
Take it into an accredited auto transmission specialist shop for a proper diagnosis and a quote
I suspect that you will find it is the clutch control ( servo/solenoid or TCM unit ) and that the cost to fix will be considerable cheaper than a new transmission
