Hi,
It sounds like the clutch isn't releasing from the engine. First, is it possible for you to record the sound it's making so I can hear it?
Next, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, but there should be a clutch fluid reservoir under the hood. Locate it and see if it is low or empty. On some of these vehicles, there will be a supply hose straight from the brake master cylinder, so make sure it isn't low if that is the case.
Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find.
