Curt; It sounds to me like you have a hydraulic problem. Have you checked
the fluid in the clutch master cylinder? If it is still full the master
cylinder probably has failed. If it is not full you must figure out where
the fluid went. if you can get under the car you should be able to see
movement at the slave cylinder when the pedal is depressed.Lots of movement
& no clutch operation would indicate a problem inside the bell housing.
