Brief Answer:
Possible blockage

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Having two weeks without a bowel movement is quite a long time.
Using miralax gives a bowel movement in 12 - 24 hours while using colace should have helped you to pass stools in three days.
Having so long (2 weeks) without a bowel movement is quite long and needs further investigations.
You should firstly do an ultrasound and a fybroscopy too to determine the place and the cause of blockage.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
