Ummm. Sorry, I don't know much about cars so I can't diagnose.

What I do know is that you're mad to be driving a car in that condition. Get it to a garage, and don't drive it there.

Was the car sitting without moving for a while? It is possible the brake shoes are stuck in the rear of the car.

Clutch is gone i'd say, very common on those cars, even at low mileage.
