Should 1099-r have distribution code 2 if i did a direct rollover from 401k

I rolled over my 401k from a previous job directly to a roth ira. I received my 1099-r which has a distribution code of 2 , early withdrawl.  if i rolled over the 401k wouldn't it be a code G ? and should box 2a have the same taxable amount as box 1. I really don't understand any of this so am open to all explanations . Thank you.
