Sounds as though the master or the slave on the clutch has failed. How is the level of clutch fluid doing under the hood? Do you know where to check the level? I would look around the master to see if there is any fluid leaks and if not then follow the clutch line around the back of the engine looking for leaks. This will eventually end at a slave on the tranny housing. Again check for leaks.
