When dealing with stuck parts like your drain plug, sometimes "cranking" on it with a big wrench won't work to get it loose.

Keep doing this a few times, if needed, and the impacts might break it loose. Just make sure you have a good grip on everything, don't let the wrench go flying, and make sure the wrench is tight on the bolt too, so it doesn't round off, or fly off etc.
