loud noise when i shifted to drive

my car is stored in my garage for the last month now because of my suspension but i usually start my car every 3 or 4 days and let it idle for about 15 mins or so yesterday i decided to take it for a drive

i let it warm up for about 3 to 4 mins and when i put it in drive first it wouldnt move so i put it back into park and tried to put it in drive again and when the car moved forward about half an inch i heard a loud clunk noise kinda sounded like i ran over a tin can

so then i quickly reversed my car about an inch back and looked under the car and there was nothing there but when i put it in drive again and drove the car everything was perfectly fine

is there something i should be worried about or checking?

The parking pin may have been a bit stuck since you hadn't driven it in a while.

Mine clunks once in a while, especially when there's a load on the transmission, i.e. parked on an incline.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.
