Yes, it was running and sounding fine before hand. It's definitely my fault I'm just hoping a recovery might be possible. I'm getting her to email me a video of the noise so you guys can hear it.

It can be moved if I baby the throttle but I highly doubt it would make it up a hill or any kind of incline. I was driving it back and forth about 10 feet and once it gets much above 1300rpm or so in...

It's definitely a coil. Get an OEM one and replace #4. If you want to be positive about it switch #4 for another cylinder and the misfire code should change to that one.
