My job is forcing me to transfer to another location that is farther way. I told my supervisors that I’m not interested in going or going out there to help. My job want me to float to different hours where I put 0 for travel.

What should I do I been here at my job for over where my schedule works for me. Now she wants to change it where I’m not available to work those hours.

There may be nothing that you can do about this. The fact is that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit. This includes changing a worker's job location and scheduled hours. Accordingly, unless this action violates the terms of an employment contract or union agreement or constitutes some form of legally actionable discrimination, it is legal.
