sounds like the clutch is not working, what does the clutch pedal feel like when you press it to the floor? It is hydraulic clutch on your car so it may well need bleeding or there may be a hydraulic failure or a component of your clutch may have failed, thrust bearing or pressure plate. |

...if it is an auto it may be the neutral safety switch that has become inoperative and is causing the problem. ...if it is a standard it may be the throw out bearing is no longer allowing the clutch to engage. Do you hear a constant whirring noise when the clutch is not depressed ? Sorry for your trouble...  Hope it is solved without too much fuss.
