Answer -
Is the pedal all the way up and it can't be pressed down or is it stuck on the floor?


Answer
One of the hydraulic cylinders may be stuck, it could be either the master or the slave cylinder, here is how to go about checking it:
Loosen the hydraulic line on the master cylinder a few turns and see if the pedal can be depressed, fluid should come out of the fitting, if the pedal still can't be pushed down the problem is in the master cylinder or the pedal linkage.
If fluid comes out and the pedal goes down the problem may be with the slave cylinder or the clutch, tighten the line at the master cylinder and open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder and push the pedal down see if fluid comes out, if so the slave cylinder my be stuck, remove it and see if the pushrod can be pushed in, if it's ok there is a problem with the clutch and the transmission has to be removed to inspect it.
