Former employer withholding 401k for 60 days

Hello everyone,

I quit my job and I wanted to transfer/rollover my 401k to a different account. However, when I spoke with someone in Fidelity they stated my former employer is withholding it and I cannot touch until a 60 day period is over from my last day.

I have been looking around Reddit and online but I haven’t found anything relating to this. Only the opposite where former employers are forcing their former employees to withdraw.

Is there anyway around this?

Edit: I was fully vested and the total amount in it was above $60K
