Hello,
A friend gave me a Frigidaire Fridge that was working but sitting in his garage for a few months unplugged. We transported it upright in the back of a pick up truck and my wife plugged it in right away when i wasn't looking and it made a noise like a loud rattle she said (i was outside thanking my friend for his help delivering the fridge and didn't hear the noise) when i came back in the house the fridge was humming and i unplugged the fridge to allow for the fridge to settle after being transported.(we hit a few potholes on the way to my house) After about 3 hours i turned the settings to the middle and plugged it in around 6pm. I was expecting that the fridge would be cold this morning but it was barely cool and the freezer is warm. Any suggestions as to what i can check to get this fridge working again?

First thing to check is if the compressor is running.
You usually can hear it and it should be warm and vibrating.

Unplug the unit and check the wiring to the compressor, just in case somerthing came loose during the move.
If wiring looks OK and it still will not run adjust the temperature selector to see if it will start up.
