It almost sounds like rear wheel isn't 'freewheeling' properly. The gears on the rear wheel should be able to remain motionless (with the pedals) when you coast. Does it do the same thing if you just walk the bike or does it make the pedals rotate as you go? If that is the case you could seriously damage the derailleur if it isn't resolved.
Catastrophic lack of lube in it hub or freewheel body will make it seem to be in a fixed relationship with the wheel. A bike shop would have the proper expertise and tools to lube it properly.
yeah its pretty serious gonna take it into the shop tomorrow, was hoping to do it myself but its far out of my range. Thanks for the help!yeah its pretty serious gonna take it into the shop tomorrow, was hoping to do it myself but its far out of my range. Thanks for the help!

I encourage you to learn what you can about how the bike works. Sites like this one have a lot of good how-to's.
